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.

You go ahead and stand up for the trash, I dont care. You are pretty much on your own with that anyways. Maybe tigger and sandy will send you a friend request and you can join their cool kids club.

It's amazing how much Dan Snyder has let Andy go balls deep on his franchise

[CasselGotPeedOn]

My favorite part was when Sandy vag would call people bad fans. Lulz. The gall of that reerun.

They ruined WR discussions when Alex Smith went a full season without a WR TD.

They ruined offensive line discussions because Smith was took so many intentional sacks.

They ruined coaching discussions because Smith would constantly throw checkdowns or at least short of the sticks on 3rd downs.

If a dozen 49er fans had come here saying, "hey Smith is what he is, but we like hims so we are going to hang here too and get in on the discussion" all would have been fine. Especially if you said "hey weren't not Chiefs fans but we are harmless". Instead, the worst offenders here became flaming transparent hypocrites trying to convince everybody here they were suddenly die hard Chiefs fans and would remain so long after Alex left. It was laughable how transparently juvenile it was.

Instead of a dozen"fans" you had a dozen loud, rude, obnoxious, insistent, persistent "advocates" repetitively hammering their same extreme opinions into every thread, over and over ad nauseum.

It was not just a few Niner fans coming here to be cool about following Alex Smith. It was a clan of starry eyed Acolytes trying to convince everybody else on this forum that Alex Smith was more than what he was, and doing it in a very aggravating way that alienated everybody here to the jerks doing it.

So you need a safe space too? WTF is wrong with you guys, sand in your vaginas?

The more I read about this trade the more I am impressed that the Chiefs front office made a bold move that doesn't have a hint of a fecal odor. Every time we did a deal this big, I always saw us getting ****ed in the long run. But Alex needed to go and I am astonished they actually got it done. I thought for sure they, Reid, would hold on to him like a kid holds onto his blankie...

I wrongly predicted he would be here next year but we need a great backup QB as Tyler Bray IMHO isn't going to cut it if we need him.

I didn't think that Andy would put his big boy panties on and wisk Smith away so quickly.
And heres to Veach for being a baller and taking a third and back dooring them for Fuller. I feel we got a #1 pick or more out of the deal. Now it has to close with no Tigger and Claynus bullshit.

I hope Fuller is excited to be coming to the Chiefs and to possibly have a long term gig in KC. He and Barry with be forces to be dealt with.

Lets see what Veach has up his sleeve come the middle of march as he certainly has become a hell of a poker player.If we play our cards right we could be set before free agency and just fortify the team using lots of cash to spend on others teams bad situations.

I'm not trolling. My parents raised to me to treat people right. Too many on here never learned that lesson.

Psst. You're the one with the leaking vagina.

[cooper barrett]

And I was hoping for intelligent conversation

I am not a KC Chiefs fan. I could give a shit if you ruin their forum. But I am betting they care very much if you ruin their forum, and you guys did.

Guess what, you aren't the first and you won't be the last. You are just the latest.

Here, I will spell it out in PLAIN ENGLISH and type s-l-o-w-l-y so you can understand.

When a group of football fans correspond together on a forum, they have certain things in common. If they are on the forum long enough, they have a shared joy or suffering. In this case you have a shared suffering with KC fans who have not won the Super Bowl in 50 years.

So they do not want their discussions about the team and speculation about how the team is making progress, to be polluted -- constantly in fact -- by a bunch of people who have nothing in common with them because they are in fact NOT FANS OF THE TEAM.

I can't make it any clearer than that.

I don't see anybody calling out for a Safe Space on this ****ing chaotic, godforsaken, no rules apply barroom brawl they call a forum here, but I am pretty sure that at least they want to go toe to toe with people who at least are FELLOW FANS OF THE TEAM.

Is that ****ing too much to ask? Not that non-Chiefs fans aren't welcomed here. They just don't want us non-Chiefs fans to go around telling them how they should feel about their team and their struggles and their frustration after 50 years without a super bowl win.

Capice? No? No, probably not.

Yeah, over on the Redskins forum.

He is, but not a big enough upgrade to justify the cost to get him. The Redskins will get a 3rd round compensatory pick, so the trade from their perspective works like this:

Cousins, Fuller, 78th pick for Smith and 2019 3rd round pick (likely 97th overall).

I like Smith more than most and feel he is better than Cousins, but not by that wide of a margin. In fact I would say the gap is close enough that you could reasonably argue its a lateral move. It seems to me they would have been better to keep Cousins and Fuller and not move down 20 spots in the 3rd round.

[PunkinDrublic]

I like Alex and he did a lot for this organization but it was time for a change. Good GMs know how to fleece incompetent GMs. Baller move by Veach!

I like Alex, but he is not an upgrade over Cousins. The only thing that would remotely make me believe that is Alex is signable for DC where Cousins is not.

Age: Cousins > Smith
QBR: Cousins > Smith
TD/INT ratio: Cousins > Smith
Playoffs: Smith > Cousins
Able to sign: Smith > Cousins

I'd say this forum houses as many non-chief fan regulars as any sports team message board does.
