Kendall Fuller: Redskins weren’t trying to ‘kick me out the door’

After finding out about his trade to the Kansas City Chiefs, cornerback Kendall Fuller said the message from the Redskins’ management and coaches was clear: “All of them were upset I had to go.”

On Jan. 31, the Redskins agreed to ship Fuller and a third-round pick for quarterback Alex Smith. Fuller, a promising young corner, was a heavy cost, but the Chiefs insisted on his inclusion. The trade can’t be official until March 14.

Appearing on a podcast, Fuller told ESPN’s Adam Schefter he met with the Redskins the next day to discuss the trade.
