Alex Smith may have had a Pro Bowl season, led his team to 10 wins and a trip to the playoffs, but he's still on the brink of being traded for the second time in his career.

Approaching the age of 34, Smith will join his third team when his trade from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Washington Redskins can be completed on the first day of the new league year on March 14.

And Smith can't contain his excitement.

"I would be lying if I said the wife and I have not been scoping out the area on Google Maps," Smith said on KNBR-AM's Murph and Mac podcast on Thursday, according to Kimberley A. Martin of the Washington Post.

"I'm jacked. I'm really excited. Once I found out that things in Kansas City were going in a different direction, I was pumped at the opportunity, and when Washington came calling, I was hopeful that that was a possible destination, and I'm just jacked that it worked out."

The trade, as it stands now, sees Smith shipped to D.C. for a third-round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller. Smith will also receive a four-year contract extension worth $94 million.

March 14 can't get here fast enough for the Smith family.
