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.

It's the third time he's not worried about.

That's Wilbon's shtick though. Thinks he's a tough guy just because he's from Chicago. Values "What have you done for me lately?!" over taking a risk and winning or losing big. He's like that in every ****ing sport.

After the 2017 draft he was ****ing furious about Mitch Trubisky. ****ing livid. Even went so far to say, "Even if Trubisky ends up being great, I do not support this move, because it's such a pointless and stupid risk."

You can hate on Trubisky as a prospect. You can say the Bears gave up too much to get him. You can say there is no plan or direction in Chicago based on the fact that just over a month prior they gave $18 million to Ostrich Neck Boy. But to say, "I support Chicago sports and have for all of my life and I will never support Trubisky even if he's great" is just... wow. It's dumb.

Veach is a major blessing. Opportunistic and outside the box thinking getting Ragland, Irving, and KPL. Now the Smith trade and all it allows...amazing job.

You don’t go cutting Ford though, no way. As has been said he is in a contact year. Plus say they do acquire a couple guys and feel comfortable moving on from him you wait. You wait until the draft when all the pass rushers in free agency are long gone and the first round is over and the second day is going on and teams with needs miss out on players they wanted you can dangle him for a 3rd or 4th if you want and see what happens. They just cleared cap room trading Alex. Yes there’s going to be more but get them replaced before you go just cutting guys.

Cut Tamba and Zombo and Revis right off the bat to clear some more room. Then probably DJ. He could possibly contribute another year in the same role rotating with KPL ( if resigned) or Eligwe. At the right price and only the right price. I don’t see Veach going the route Dorsey did with Tamba a couple years ago and have no plan in place to replace him and get screwed over paying a popular yet declining vet. Bailey they can still get production out of and if they don’t need him to start even better. He’s playing a bit heavy at around 305-310 when he’s better about 295ish and quicker as an inside rusher on pass down. Parker I would like to see replaced but if they have to squeeze another year from him because they can’t find a starter his cap# doesn’t kill you. Same with West and Harris. Find their replacement first then move on.

Yeah that's nice; we don't want you.

The poster "Kaepernick" was right about you from the get-go, 'Snoopy'.

Bret Veach has made forgetting John Dorsey sooooooooo easy.

He might be my favorite personnel man of all-time if he keeps trending in his current direction. You have to give the innovation, the approach, and the results to Stram, Steadman, and Hunt at this point because they hold the jewelry, but if Veach navigates this current incarnation of Chiefs football to a Super Bowl victory, then there is no doubt that he should be crowned King.*

Would rather cut bait and get a cheap FA or try to draft his replacement.

Why not both?

You might want to see a dr for that. That’s abnormal.

Good thought, but it has one major flaw... there’s no way Andy chucked a bag of Jack In the Box. I mean, if his wife packed him a salad that day, then you can bet your ass there was lettuce all over that room. But, Jack In the Box? I’m just not seeing it.

Veech pulled off a miracle getting Fuller. He pulled the trigger on a good deal early before anyone can look at the market or the draft and change their minds. He was bold and confident. Fantastic job
