The Kansas City Chiefs are once again making waves with their impressive 7-0 record, standing at the top of the AFC.
Despite this strong start, the team appears intent on strengthening its roster further as the trade deadline approaches. In a decisive move, the Chiefs acquired both wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and pass rusher Josh Uche within a few days, securing two important positions.
Now, reports indicate that Kansas City is eyeing another in-season trade—this time, focusing on the cornerback position.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that while the Chiefs are not under immediate pressure to make another trade, they remain vigilant in the market. With cornerback Jaylen Watson sidelined for the season after a severe injury, the Chiefs may explore options to bolster their secondary.
Although they have their sights set on players in the league, former Chiefs players Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson are currently available as free agents and could also be considered.
Kansas City’s general manager, Brett Veach, has made strategic decisions this season to address specific team needs, ensuring that their lineup remains competitive.
As they prepare for a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Chiefs might pull off another deal to strengthen their defense, solidifying their position as a top Super Bowl contender this season.
