The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly working on another blockbuster trade, despite already acquiring Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and edge rusher Josh Uche in separate deals.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are football’s last undefeated team with a 7-0 record heading into their Monday night showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
GM Brett Veach acquired Hopkins and Uche in a matter of days. Now, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the defending Super Bowl champions may be working on trading for a cornerback:
“The Super Bowl champion Chiefs have been aggressive on the trade market, and they might not be done. Kansas City addressed two needs with trades for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and pass rusher Joshua Uche in back-to-back weeks.
But cornerback remains a need after Jaylen Watson went down for the season, and the belief is that Kansas City is at least monitoring that market close to the deadline. The Chiefs are not pressed to make a move but will be open to it, and their 2025 draft haul is still in good shape after acquiring a third-round pick in the L’Jarius Sneed trade. The Chiefs also love retreads, players who know their culture, so it’s noteworthy that former Chiefs Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson are still out there on the free agency market.”
The Chiefs lost standout corner Jaylen Watson for the year with a broken tibia and fibula, leaving them shorthanded in the secondary. The 26-year-old emerged as a key starter following the offseason L’Jarius Sneed trade to the Tennessee Titans, recording six pass breakups in as many games before his injury.
The Kansas City Chiefs landed Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick, and Uche from the Patriots for a 2026 sixth-round selection. GM Brett Veach is no strange to in-season trades ahead of the deadline, as evidenced by the moves for wide receivers Kadarius Toney (2022) and Mecole Hardman (2023) that helped them to consecutive championships.
Kansas City will always be in win-now mode with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid leading the way. And given Veach’s successful history of finding hidden gems in the later rounds of the draft, there’s every incentive to be aggressive for CB help again with a three-peat in sight.
Kansas City Chiefs Remain The Team To Beat
The Chiefs haven’t been dominating opponents on the scoreboard this season, but no team is more resilient and battle-tested than Reid’s group. They just know how to gut out wins in any fashion, good or ugly.
Kansas City remains the team to beat with the midway point of the season looming. And at 7-0, it already looks like the path to Super Bowl 59 will run through Arrowhead Stadium.

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.
Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.
That was then, and this is now.
It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.
The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.
Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.
Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season
Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.
He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.
He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.
Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
