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.

Neither the trade sending him to Washington nor the four-year extension he’s agreed to can become official for more than a month, but Alex Smith isn’t letting that get in the way of his planning.

Smith said on the Murph & Mac podcast last week that he and his wife have already been scouting out possible places to live once he’s officially a member of the Redskins.

“I’m jacked. I’m really excited,” Smith said, via the Washington Post. “Once I found out that things in Kansas City were going in a different direction, I was pumped at the opportunity, and when Washington came calling I was hopeful that that was a possible destination, and I’m just jacked that it worked out. They wanted me because the feeling was mutual, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Smith will be playing his 13th NFL season in 2018 and he’s heard from people who think he is on the back end of his playing career. Smith, who stands to make up to $94 million under the terms of his proposed extension, does not feel that way and said he “can’t see the horizon at this point.” A good first season with his new team will likely push thoughts of retirement over the horizon for others as well.

So... He just got a wake up call and, by God, he's going to answer it this time.

Yes, he would need to get the ball to the receiver for it to count as dropped.

How the **** is it flawed? 26 total dropped passes on the year. 1.7 per game. One of the lowest in the NFL in 2017.

That's nothing more than descriptive statistics for a set of data. A total number and an average. A first grader with a ****ing calculator could understand it.

[RealSNR]

"The lack of dropped passes and supporting cast efficiency are why Alex Smith's true passer rating of 113.1, good for #1 in the NFL last year, was so artificially high."

"Kansas City receivers generated more separation yards than any other receiver group in the league."

Now we're getting into the PFF bullshit stats, but guess what-- Sandy, Tigger, and ChiefsPASquirrelTits' precious passer rating stat is nothing more than a made-up advanced metric of sorts as well.

This shit puts to bed any notion at all that Alex Smith is some precious commodity that we're really going to miss. If Smith's supporting cast of offensive weapons puts up remotely a HINT of the efficiency they did in 2017, Mahomes will probably dwarf Alex Smith in passing yards and TDs in 2018. He's probably going to ****ing push 5000, I imagine.

Except what was and was not dropped. I don't think a lot of drops aren't counted.

Alex Smith is the football Antichrist. And glad he's been exorcisms from Kansas City. I feel somewhat bad about dumping this blasphemous sack of chickenshit mediocrity on Washington ... but then remember our five years of purgatory, and don't.

My buddy is a Raiders fan and Virginia Tech fan. Hated this deal lol.


Just getting around to reading this thread. Glad I waited because I would’ve went off on the Alex homers too lol. Denver fan boys on here thinking we got a “depth dude” is hilarious. This thread is as crazy as Twitter was while I was on it in suspense of what the compensation was.

Love or hate Alex this is probably the most impressive trade KC has made since Montana hit town.

"Well, Kansas City to the Super Bowl," said a former 49ers linebacker, Matt Millen...
