WR trade targets for the Chiefs
By: Jake Rajala
The Kansas City Chiefs have leaned on a lot of average pass catchers, but they need a quality wide receiver. They had Tyreek Hill, but they traded him away. They had DeAndre Hopkins, but he left for Baltimore. I’d like to see the Chiefs acquire a gifted WR. Hence, I’m going to unfold a few WRs for the Chiefs to target.
Terry McLaurin
Scary Terry is having contract disputes with the Commanders. Not only has he had issues, but the Commanders brought in Deebo Samuel this off-season. Austin Ekekler is also a fantastic receiving weapon. Jaylen Daniels can also make a lot of production with his legs. I wouldn’t be surprised if a team made a hefty trade for Scary Terry.
Brandon Aiyuk
Just as Samuel left to the Commanders (as noted above), there is a lot of speculation that Brandon Aiyuk could follow him. Aiyuk is widely regarded as an expensive asset. Just as the Saints once rolled with TE Jimmy Graham and RB Darren Sproles, Brock Purdy could move forward with RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle as his main weapons.
Chris Olave
There has been non-stop buzz about the possibility of Chris Olave being traded from the Saints. The Saints are somewhat in a rebuilding mode, plus they have WR talent outside of Olave with Rashid Shaheed and Brandin Cooks. Hence, it makes somewhat sense for the Saints to flip Olave for a first or second round pick.
Honorable Mention:
Treylon Burks
The former first round pick, Treylon Burks has all the talent in the world. He’s had issues with putting it on display. He had 444 yards in 11 games as a rookie. He then only played in 16 games over the past two seasons combined. He could be elevated in the Chiefs offense, alongside Xavier Worthy.
The Chiefs shouldn’t follow the Bills formula by rolling with little talent at WR. I want to see the Chiefs bring in more ammunition. After all, they lost by 18 points in the Super Bowl. It would be even more sweet to acquire a gifted WR that’s below the age of 30.
