Chiefs Trade Alex Smith To Washington

Jan 31, 2018 12:28 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to trade Alex Smith to Washington for a third round pick and Kendall Fuller. Kansas City received interest from at least six other teams.

Smith will sign a four-year extension with Washington averaging $23.5 million per season with $71 million in guaranteed money.

Washington will part ways with Kirk Cousins, who signed a franchise tag each of the past two seasons.

The Chiefs will start Patrick Mahomes at quarterback in 2018.

Smith, 33, came to the Chiefs in a 2013 trade that sent two second-round draft picks to the San Francisco 49ers.

Alex Smith Wishes He Was In Control Of Future

Jan 30, 2018 12:05 PM

For the second time in his career, Alex Smith may be traded and replaced with a younger quarterback.

Smith was traded by the 49ers to the Chiefs following the emergence of Colin Kaepernick. The Chiefs are considering dealing Smith to clear a path for Patrick Mahomes.

“I wish I knew,” Smith said. “I’ve got a year under contract there in Kansas City. I wish I was in control of this thing. I wish I was the one who got to do this. That’s just not the reality.”

Smith was asked about going to Cleveland and Smith said they have “nowhere to go but up” after initially saying he hadn’t given it any thought. Smith added that he loves “where I’m at”

Chiefs Promote Eric Bieniemy To Offensive Coordinator

Jan 9, 2018 6:39 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs have hired Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator.

Bieniemy replaces Matt Nagy in the role, who became head coach of the Bears.

Bieniemy was most recently running backs coach of the Chiefs.

"I've known Eric a long time, both as a player and a coach," Andy Reid said in a statement released by the team. "He's done a phenomenal job with our running backs and has been involved in every aspect of our offense over the last five years. He's a great teacher and has earned this opportunity. I know he will do a good job."

Bieniemy has overseen all-time great seasons from Adrian Peterson (four 1,000-yard campaigns), Jamaal Charles and Kareem Hunt in his 10 years as a running backs coach.
