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.

Fair enough, but he was never aggressive, did NOTHING in regards to drafting and developing a legitimate QB prospect, and outlived his usefulness.


Not to mention, he was the king purveyor of sappy, sentimental, 'fan favorite'-retention of players that should have been cut or traded when there were better opportunities, and when THEY outlived THEIR usefulness.

He traded what was essentially a worthless 1st round pick for Joe Montana and signed Marcus Allen.

He was terrible with Herm from 2006-2008 but otherwise, he did the bidding of his head coach.

Jared Allen is a HOFer.

Tamba Hali is a Chiefs HOFer.

How many of that era of players( Charles, Hali, Flowers, Albert etc. ) can we attribute to Herm? Seems like the philosophy changed somewhat upon his arrival, and I'm not referring to the "youth movement" of Herm vs. Vermiel's preference of veterans, I'm recalling that we began to score pretty well on large sweeps across the draft board, top to bottom.

IMO, Carl should have left with Marty. They came in as a team, and should have left as one. Both were clearly past their expiration dates as Chiefs personnel. Had Carl not lingered, he could have possibly rejuvinated his career as Marty did briefly with San Diego.

Sure, Dougy. I'm sure you with your franchise QB and elite D are shaking in your boots.

[TambaBerry]

I guarantee Dee Ford does not play much next year due to the back injury. We will pay him 8 million to be this year's tamba Hali

Time to let go Clay.

The baptisimal waters of the Mahomes river will wash away the Smith scars.

We are re-born.

It's not that, Pitt. Pederson simply recalls the excruciating pain one has to endure when watching Smith attempt to play the game of football.

It's enough to make even the most zealous football fan hurl their $10.00 nachos all over the persons sitting next to them!

wakka-wakka-wakka!

The thing I'm second most excited about in regards to the offense, will be observing how the casual fan jumps to their feet and proclaims a Moses-level miracle at how "great the O-line has become"!

IT'S A MIRACLE!

Opening. ****ING. Day.

The crowd is going to be so loud if Mahomes comes out and leads us to 6 on his first possession.

this morning at work, another driver where i work arrived. oddly for whatever reason he is a browns fan. we have spoken all year about mahomes and smith. he would have liked smith in cleveland. didn't know about the trade.

i approached him with this beauty:

[kccrow]

My uncle is a Redskins fan and he's laughing about this trade, thinks the Skins are idiots and that it's Donovan Part II.

He hopes the Skins tag and trade Cousins. Weird thought imo, but I think they have the cap to do just that if they wanted to. I'd find it hard to believe it would happen though.
