CB Kendall Fuller is the player that made the trade for Alex Smith possible. Chiefs view Fuller as a bonafide starter, to go along with the third-round pick they’re getting.

Schefter doubling-down, which means Fuller is in the deal.

Wow. Redskins front office C'mon man! That's absolutely ludicrous to pay Alex friggen smith that amount of money.

 

i hope  Cousins continues  to ball out wherever he goes. Jax and Denver obviously make the most sense.

3rd + Fuller + $71 million 

Ouch.

"Yeah you're totally not the guy Kendall! (snickering in the background) <hangs up> OH MY GOD DO YOU THINK HE BOUGHT IT?!?"

Everyone seems to be confirming Fuller. Schefter is reaffirming as such. Terez Paylor, who broke the trade news in the first place is saying so. Benjamin Allbright has confirmed. A few others.

I'm freaking ecstatic.

Because none of the players involved are FAs?

So Teams can trade any player before FA?

It's only tampering if the team with rights to the player doesn't allow the negotiation. Extension negotiations between trades happen semi-regularly, because presumably the Chiefs went to Washington and said hey, we're willing to trade Smith to you for what we discussed, go ahead and talk to him about money if you'd like.
