Dammit Matthews thanks for beating me to it well guess I was wrong sorry guys.

[Chiefs4life24]

Wonder who the player and pick is ?

[matthewschiefs]

We have to wait until March to find out the trade can't be official until then

Kansas City is expected to receive a second-round pick from Washington for Alex Smith and possibly more, per source. But a second-round pick was the price as of this morning, before trade between KC and Washington finalized.

[Chiefs4life24]

I gotta say Washington wasn't on my Radar kinda got me in left field with this one

[matthewschiefs]

They were at an impasse with COusins so they moved on

[Eydugstr]

Who are the Redskings? j/k

Remember when we squawked when we heard that we'd traded a second round pick to get him from the 49er's?

[Chiefs4life24]

Rapoport says a 3rd round pick and a player to be named tomorrow

[Chiefs4life24]

Smith has agrees to a 94 million 4 year deal with 70 m guaranteed

Putem up putem up :comeandgetsome:

I am surprised we seemed to do well in this. I thought teams would just wait for him to be cut to make the move

[Chiefs4life24]

3rd round seems pretty low makes me think a great player like... JOSH NORMAN

[matthewschiefs]

It won't be that good

We had 0 leverage in this really. A player who was on his last year at that cap number the whole league knowing we were going to cut him. You're not getting Josh Norman and a 3rd for that

[Chiefs4life24]

Then Veach will get Roasted

[Chiefs4life24]

They signed Smith to a huge deal good lord

[Bike]

So we now have 1-2 years of growing pains for a new young qb - and no defense.
And I don't even want to think about our prospects if Mahomes breaks his ankle (or whatever) the second game of the season.
It seems to me we are in full rebuilding mode - yet again.

[Chiefs4life24]

Now they need to sign a good backup

[matthewschiefs]

If the growing pains get us a superbowl I am willing to go through them better then the constant 1 and done.

The Browns were also in on Alex. So maybe we did get a player who can make a difference but I don't think it's Norman level still

In Alex Smith trade, Chiefs will receive third-round pick And CB Kendall Fuller, per @FieldYates (https://twitter.com/FieldYates). So there’s the trade.

It's gonna be awhile. We need to rebuild our defense.

[Chiefs4life24]

That is a great player Fuller and Peters is gonna be LIT!!!!

It seems to me they pulled the string awefully quick. Why not wait another month for the possibility of getting a higher pick?

[Chiefs4life24]

If they indeed got Fuller I love this trade cause we got a stud CB in Return

A position of need - no doubt.

[matthewschiefs]

Fuller saying on twitter he hasn't been traded

Also keep in mind either team can back out between now and March

A source tells me Kendall Fuller has not been told that he has been traded. However, both @Rapsheet (https://twitter.com/RapSheet) and @AdamSchefter (https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter) are reporting that he is the player to be named later.

[Chiefs4life24]

Fuller is saying he is trying to find out

[jason1981]

He was the top slot cb this year. Norman was praising him that he could atart at outside cb next year so i think alot of redskins fans will be upset about the trade. I think we got the better deal. Though i would like another outside atarting cb as well.

[Chiefs4life24]

Then I have one for you in the 2nd round we draft CB Anthony Averett From Alabama

[Bike]

Getting a good starting corner is almost like getting a first round pick. So a 1st and a 3rd for Smith makes this an excellent trade.

Brett Veach was seen fleeing DC in a ski mask with a gun

[jason1981]

I didnt evem realize teams could agree to trade already. Thpught you jad to wait till 3 days before FA. But i guess thats juat for free agents.

[Chiefs4life24]

Now begs the Question What else is gonna Happen to shock us>???

[Chiefs4life24]

How would you guys feel if we signed Aqib Talib in FA?

[jason1981]

How would you guys feel if we signed Aqib Talib in FA?

No to talib. Id rather keep revis fpr 10 mil and let him tutor fuller and peters for another year. Though if we did it would be the best secondary in tje league hamds down. Peters,berry,parker, fuller(slot) , talib or revis.

[Chiefs4life24]

Everything I've read says Fuller can play outside also and is ready so that's an option

[Chiefs4life24]

The Redskins forums soured when they found out what they paid smith then when Fuller was announced they burned the forum down they all said we fleeced them and are calling for whats his face to be fired

[matthewschiefs]

Look at what Veach pulled off

Created salary cap space,Got a draft pick,and a starter for a QB that they were not going to keep That's a hell of a job

[Eydugstr]

Putem up putem up :comeandgetsome:

Redskings? Really??!? j/k

Everyone is saying that. Overall it does make sense. We needed a draft pick (2nd would've been nicer but a third will still get a talented player) and we did need to improve at CB. The skins definitely needed a QB that throws fewer INT's.
