Kendall Fuller was sent from the Washington Redskins to the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday night as part of the Alex Smith trade. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Field Yates were the first to report that the (very good) cornerback was in the deal.

But Fuller wasn’t buying the news. In the minutes after the Schefter and Yates tweets, Fuller said he wasn’t getting traded.

And Fuller wasn’t the only one on Twitter that didn’t buy it.
There is zero chance Kendall Fuller is the player-to-be-named in the Alex Smith trade. Teammates raved about him. Coaches raved about him. DeAngelo Hall told me in December that Fuller could start on the outside next year. Deep breath, people.

Welp, within the hour, Fuller reportedly told his teammates that he’s indeed going to the Chiefs.
