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.

@ByMikeJones: Thing about Kendall Fuller is this: He had a first-round grade prior to his knee injury at Virginia Tech, and some offensive players in Washington believed he was poised to become the best player on that defense in another year. #Chiefs get a rising star.

Load up on NFL Ready defensive players in the draft.

That plan sounds even better than it did before now.

Nobody can actually think that's a win. Can they? Why would ANYONE care what a player makes after they are off the team? That's absurd. That's something my grandmother would think matters. How does a sports fan actually think that is relevant to a fan base.

By this line of thinking, fans should always be upset when the right roster move is made and a different team overpays for the player they let go.

OK, with the extension I'm out. He's not a bridge, but our future now? Our future is Alex Smith?

Alex Smith could barely win one playoff game with a superior team and coach!

Chiefs might have one of the league's best secondaries come September
