Quarterback Alex Smith has a new home, as sources tell The Star that the Chiefs have reached agreement to trade their veteran starter of the last five seasons to Washington.

There is no word on the compensation yet, and any trade involving Smith can’t be completed until the first day of the new league year,

which begins at 3 p.m. on March 14. But the sources say the deal is in place and will proceed.


Smith, 33, is coming off a stellar season in which he set career-highs in passing yards (4,042), touchdowns (26) and passer rating (104.7).

However, Smith was entering the final year of his contract with the Chiefs, and he has a cap number of $20.6 million for 2018. By trading

him, the club stands to save $17 million.

The deal also clears the way for 2017 first-round draft pick Patrick Mahomes to become the Chiefs’ new starting quarterback. Mahomes’ regular-season NFL debut, a 27-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Dec. 31, was a success.

Mahomes completed 22 of 35 passes for 284 yards with an interception in the game and showed poise while leading the Chiefs’ game-winning drive.

“I think he’s got what it takes man,” Denver cornerback Aqib Talib said at the Pro Bowl. “He’s got a super strong arm, he can make all

the throws. He made great reads in our game. I know we had a simple game plan on defense, but he made great reads and took control of the

game.”

Smith was acquired from San Francisco in 2013 for two third-round picks. He posted a 50-26 record as a starter since arriving in

Kansas City and has made two straight Pro Bowl appearances.

This story will be updated.

Yeah, after what your scumbag org did with Sanders I'm going to be patiently waiting until March 14th to fully celebrate on this.

This is so true. Fuller was considered a blue-chip prospect prior to his injury-plagued final season at https://t.co/neahzM6PbS. He's played like a quality starter for the #Redskins as a slot CB. He gives the #Chiefs a young, athletic CB to pair w/No.22. Could have 2 ⭐️s at CB https://t.co/GrRROJGIuN

Chiefs received, what should be considered, a top 10 pick (on a 2nd round salary) and a 3rd rounder....while clearing $16+ million. Nice haul...

This is how you start the Mahomes Era on the right foot. This kid has amazing talent and they need to build a great young team around him. The time to win big is the next 3-4 years before they have to pay him $30m per year.

Peters (25 years old)
Fuller (22 years old!!)
Chris Jones (23 years old)
Ragland (24 years old)

and Houston and Berry still there to lead the pack at 29...

That's insane. 6 bonafide studs.

I can’t imagine we would work this trade without some sort of written assurance or league rules that say it will go through. Otherwise there would be no point in even discussing it this early with teams.
