The next big date on the NFL calendar will be March 14, the start of free agency. The first domino has fell when Kansas City traded Alex Smith to Washington for a third-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft and CB Kendall Fuller (this trade won’t be official until March 14).
It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that Smith was dealt. This had been rumored since training camp once the Chiefs moved up in the 2017 NFL Draft to select Patrick Mahomes. The team loved what they saw out of him in camp that and believed he was ready to start last season.
