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.

If Mahomes has 103 TD passes in his first four seasons there are going to be a lot of happy campers around here.

This franchise would absolutely not be "stuck" with Derek Carr. Andy Reid would have him throwing lasers.

Yes we would. He’s Kirk Cousins, who is Tony Romo, who is 2017 Alex Smith aka good stats but can’t handle pressure and win anything that matters.

Derek Carr has the 9th worst yards per pass attempt in NFL history and he had the most loaded offense in the conference the last 2 years.

He’s currently the most overrated player in the NFL with his price tag.

Clay (The Welsh) getting detained by customs are he tries to get his GF back into the country after a trip to Honduras. Sorry, The cheaper neighboring country to the north of Honduras

Spoiler!

He (Clay) needs to go have a domestic violence session with new his sex doll then he may (may) look at Smith in a rational manner. Right now Clay is like the scorned ex wife who took the Frontier Communications stock in the divorce.

Smith was not all things to all people, could have done better, but I think the guy earned his paychecks.

I will be watching out of the corner of my eye to see what he does on Sundays. I think we maybe surprised how much of this comes back to the Chiefs...losing Ware and Barry certainly had both sides of the line lacking, but few QB's (loud cough) have gone very far with the #32 defense in the league.

So 2-5 in the playoffs is disgusting and abysmal, and 2-4 in the playoffs is damn good. . .

It truly is a game of inches.

That's what I'm getting at.

He deserved to be paid a backup's salary for two seasons and then dumped unceremoniously when we had the opportunity to draft Derek Carr.

Smith had a year left on his contract when he was extended, at $7.5m.

THAT is what he is worth.

That is YOUR opinion of what he is worth. People who actually have a clue about NFL player value and get paid to give those players contracts think he is and was worth more. Your dumb ass is the only one who thinks he was overpaid. I'll go with the experts opinions. Not the guy who is always wrong.

Like Andy Reid? Who gave Mike Vick a $100 million contract?

Or the Redskins? Who's only accomplishment over the past decade is hilariously overpaying players?

Pull the other one.

Specifically, he wasn't worth it because we could have had him for 7.5 million in 2014 (instead of $19 million), and then after he failed to throw a TD to a WR, negotiated a FAR cheaper deal.

But we didn't. Because Chiefs.

I’d look for a new QB if Pat became Romo. We are trading away Romo for hopefully something better in Pat.

Romo was asked to do a lot more than smith in carrying Jerry disaster of a cowboys team but in terms of playoff wins, there weren’t a lot.

But I also don’t think 7 games and 6 games is much of a sample size nor do I feel from watching both QBs they were similar.

Both QBs are pretty underrated around here

Wait, what?

You really need to temper your expectations.

Tony Romo was 13-3 with 38 total TDs his first full season starting.

And Alex threw 26 TD’s and only 5 INT’s this year. I don’t care what his stats are. Romo had top 10 defenses a handful of times and won nothing just like Alex.

The Chiefs can’t afford to pay top dollar for a QB that doesn’t get it done after years of trying and a good defense.

You basically aren't going to be happy unless he's a hall of famer, is the vibe I'm picking up on here.
