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.

We should get their 1 and 3 then

I also don't think that's a bad gig for Alex.

I don't entirely agree that it's a good gig. The strength of that team is their receivers. Bad OL, shitty running game, injury prone TE. Average defense. Erratic head coach.

He went to a below average team in a big market that will hound him like crazy. But hey, he's not our problem anymore. I wish him the best - can't say bad things about the guy now that he's not on our team.

Washington, notorious for overspending for free agents. This is good news.

Great deal for everyone. Alex gets to go to a playoff contender (kinda), we get to send Alex, Tiger, and everyone else over to extremeskins, the Mahomes era begins.

I wish Alex well, he played pretty well for us and helped the team back to respectability. He always carried himself the right way and was a good leader and teammate by all accounts, a stand up guy and a professional. Wish he would have been able to take us to the promised land, but I am glad he’s landing somewhere that he still may have a shot.
