NFL Network has confirmed the Star’s report.
Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter report that Washington is sending Kansas City a third-round pick in exchange for Cousins. ESPN’s Field Yates reports that cornerback Kendall Fuller is also being sent to Kansas City.
QB Alex Smith and Washington now have reached an agreement on a new four-year contract extension, per sources. Smith, who had one year left on his contact, tied to Washington for next five seasons. Smith gets long-term deal from Washington that Cousins could not.

Schefter also reports that Washington has not had any contact with Cousins since the end of the season and that Smith and the Redskins have already agreed to a long-term deal.
