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.

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.

Alex was never going to Cleveland under any circumstances. He would retire before going there. Tom Condon and Veach used Cleveland as a foil to bid up the Redskins. It was brilliant.

How ****ing stupid can you guy's be? Atl had 17 points after 3 ****ing possessions. You're telling me we would of had 14 points after 2 possessions with Alex? This is why I ****ing hate you guy's, you lying piece of shits.

You're saying Alex wouldn't have put us in a hole. That's good for him, but Kaep didn't put us in one either. For the amount of excuses you guys give a shitty QB like Alex, it's astonishing the amount of blame you put on Kaep and will now put on Mahomes.

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.

At this point what difference does it make?

Comment from discussion Alex Smith Discussion Thread.

It taste so good.

[OnTheWarpath15]

For the first time in decades, I've woken up and truly believed this organization could win a Super Bowl in the next 5-10 years.

Can't wait for the season to start, and to watch Veach continue to build a team around Mahomes.

[Red Dawg]

We all know how they feel. QB hell. Good enough for some wins but that's it. Not winning crap with him at QB. He will disappear late in the game.

[BigCatDaddy]

Its ok guys. Tigger said Wash was stacked on offense when we discussed Cousins so Shitty should do great.

[TambaBerry]

god damn guys, Fuller which is like a 1st round pick, a 3rd round pick, around 16 million in cap room saved and Alex Smith gone, this is absolutely incredible. Also, I am glad I was wrong about it being Norman,

[notorious]

Just saw this.

It’s exciting, and Reid did a decent job getting value for Smith. I bet he does well in Washington, and we needed a CB very badly.

Reminds me a little of the Champ Bailey for Portis trade.
