Kendall Fuller: Redskins weren't 'looking to get rid of me'

When Kendall Fuller first heard rumors of a trade with Kansas City involving him, he let followers on Twitter know that he wasn’t going anywhere.

Then he got a message from his agent. Then Fuller decided, “Let me get off Twitter.”

Turns out, of course, that Fuller was traded by the Washington Redskins to the Chiefs along with a third-round pick in exchange for quarterback Alex Smith, a deal that becomes official on March 14. It was an odd turn of events for Fuller, considered a rising standout with the Redskins as a slot corner.
