Lith Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article197508249.html Chiefs trade Alex Smith to Washington, saving $17 million BY TEREZ A. PAYLOR January 30, 2018 08:32 PM 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.

greenwave81 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 After how they bungled his contract over the years it makes more sense for the Skins to do a deal like this for Smith, draft a potential replacement and save $20 million on the cap. Not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjasi Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yep. Washington definitely thinks Cousins is a top 10 QB. Definitely. Why else would they trade their 29 year old stud for a 33 year old check down Charlie? Just a a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crusher Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That’s a huge plus for the Jets. Cousin or not at least we now know we aren’t getting Alex Smith. I honestly thinks Bowles and Macc weep at this trade . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same dumb dickhole who gave a $100 million deal to a fat, notoriously lazy interior DL like Haynesworth when that kind of money was unheard of for any position besides QB...but he won’t commit to a guy who has thrown for over 4,000 yards, 25+ TD’s and completed 67% of his passes over the last 3 years.

If my choices are Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins, I take Smith 10 times out of 10. This does not even factor in the exorbitant contract Cousins will get.
