This year’s quarterback market always had the potential to get crazy. No one expected it to reach that point before the Super Bowl kicked off.
Out of nowhere Tuesday night it was announced the Kansas City Chiefs had traded quarterback Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins. This trade can’t become official until the new league year starts in March, so as of now these are just agreements in principle with a handshake or a wink or whatever is the official unofficial means of early transactions.
Details surrounding the trade came fast and furious throughout the night, and just analyzing the end result won’t do justice to the way all of this came to be.
