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.

Dude we are still needing help at all three levels.

CB is still a need, honestly. Peters/Fuller/Nelson get hurt, and we're right back to throwing Reaser out there.

Mitchell, Revis, and Gaines are all goners. I think Acker is a UFA, too.

He has a personal connection to Alex Smith/Chiefs front office, he has a massive amount of trade capital and still can’t pull off a trade.

what trade capital? He doesn't have a starter on defense close to Fuller's cap flexibility and talent.

They need a pass rush badly. Like two starting OLBers at least if we assume Ford and Hali are gone.

In the secondary there are at least STARTERS at each position. After Houston there is literally nothing. Yeah yeah project players coming to save the day like Kpass and Nicholas funny joke.

Yeah, i'm all for depth but some of ya'll need to get over this stacked team stuff.

I'm happy for Alex and wish him the best.

I'm even happier that we get to see a real QB behind center as Chiefs fans since Joe ****ing Montana.

I should add that I am also happy that we are getting Fuller and a ****ing 3rd round pick for Alex.
