Kirk Cousins has been the Quarterback of Washington’s Home Team for the past 3 years.  He made $26 million dollars the last two seasons on one year contracts.  They could not reach a long term deal because Cousins wanted more than $30 million dollars a year.

So without an agreement, the Hometeam has traded for a Franchise Quarterback in Kansas City Chiefs Alex Smith.

It is reported that he signed a 4 year deal for $94 million dollars with $78 million guaranteed.

The Burgundy and Gold reportedly have a new franchise quarterback: Multiple sources report that the Kansas City Chiefs have traded Alex Smith to the Washington Football Team.

Alex Smith, 33, has scrambling ability as well as a reputation for protecting the ball; something Kirk Cousins has had problems with. This past season, he threw for 4,042 yards and 26 touchdowns.  The Chiefs were one of the leagues top teams under Alex Smith.

The Chiefs will get a third-round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller as part of the trade.

The deal won’t be official until March 14.
