With less than a week remaining until the NFL’s trade deadline, the Kansas City Chiefs are continuing to upgrade their roster. Last week, the Chiefs traded with the Tennessee Titans to acquire wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
I thought it would be Kansas City’s last move before the deadline. I didn’t see any major weaknesses on the roster — although after Jaylen Watson’s injury, I would have understood the team pursuing a cornerback.
I certainly wasn’t expecting the team to bolster its pass rush. But that’s exactly what they did on Monday, trading their 2026 sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots for defensive end Josh Uche.
