To his surprise, it ended up being Fuller himself.

In a chain of tweets, Fuller initially wrote that he was safe, but then learned he was headed to Kansas City along with a third-round NFL Draft pick in exchange for Smith, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“On a more serious note I cant wait to get to Kansas City! I’m excited to be a Chief!” Fuller wrote at the end of his stream of tweets.
