The Kansas City Chiefs newest cornerback, Kendall Fuller, had a heck of an introduction to the Chiefs. He was involved in the Alex Smith trade on Tuesday night but ... the Redskins didn’t tell him.
Seriously, they didn’t tell him before the media knew. The nightmare scenario. Let’s recap it.
Adam Schefter has the news (actually Terez Paylor had the trade first and Schefter was providing more details).
Trade term update: Washington is sending KC a third-round pick and an unidentified player for QB Alex Smith, per sources.

Fuller replied to Schefter’s tweet. This is before we knew the player was Fuller.
Awkward...

Multiple other reports came out confirming the player involved was Fuller. More than 30 MINUTES later, he STILL didn’t know.

As Nelson from the Simpsons would say, haha. But, man, Washington, really?
