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.

So either there was a bidding war or its less than a second if we are getting multiple picks and a player back

I don't ask for pity. In fact, since the Rams left, my view on professional sports has changed a lot.

I'm glad the Rams left, too. Not glad how they treated the City on the way out, though.

Eh, it's an extension, but my guess is it's a 2 years worth of guarantees with an out after that if they want to.

Washington should fire their entire FO.

Daniel Snyder Syndrome, thus they are doomed no matter what

They dont lock him up for 4 years unless they gave a 1st or 2nd rounder up.

I was telling everyone there are no valuable picks unless he chooses to go somewhere and gets that extension. Good for him.

There had to be a bidding war for it to get done this early IMO

Yeah, there's no way in hell all of that's guaranteed.

Wouldn't shock me if only 1 year was guaranteed, TBH.

Skins have/had pick #44 in round 2.

They recover a third rounder letting cousins go.
