Just saw Chiefs are trading him to Washington. No word compensation yet. But the trade can’t be compensated yet until March 14th.

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.

The Chiefs will receive a 2018 third-round pick and a player to be named on Wednesday, a source confirmed, though 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 definitely 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), throwing just five interceptions.

Alex Smith is underrated. To me Cousins is sort of a younger version of Smith. Like Smith he’s a gamer, and mobile, but also a bit streaky, and prone to the occasional big mistake. So Washington is getting a QB with similar skills at a cheaper price to be a place holder for whichever QB they draft.
