NFL Insider Drops SURPRISING Chiefs Trade Report...

NFL Insider just dropped a massive Chiefs trade report as folks, their plans have been revealed and it is not a name we've talked about before as a new name has entered reports and it is a wide receiver. We're gonna break down this new name, discuss what it means going forward as well as a huge update that just dropped surrounding Brian. Thomas Jr., a lot to go over in this episode, but before we get into it, a very quick reminder to hit that subscribe button. If you guys are enjoying the Daily Chiefs content and you want to stay up to date the second a move goes down, make sure to hit that subscribe button. And let's dive into the report. So it just dropped moments ago that the Jacksonville Jaguars have told every team that they are keeping Brian Thomas Jr. So all of us and myself included thought that Brian Thomas Jr. was going to be traded. He is going to be kept, which opens up another interesting door here surrounding a name I'll dive into in just a minute. But surrounding Brian Thomas Jr., this is very interesting because Kansas City has wanted Thomas going back to even last season. And the problem was always Jacksonville. They didn't want to trade him. Now, reports even dropped as early as. This morning, revealing that they were going to trade Brian Thomas Jr., so it kind of came out of nowhere when it just dropped that they were not going to be trading him, even though they literally don't use him. Now, recently, the Jaguars obviously traded for Jordan Davis, Jesse Bates, and multiple other names, so they didn't want to trade one of their best young receivers to another team, but it is very interesting because now, with just four or five hours left until the deadline, the amount of talent that is available to the Chiefs, and they need a wide receiver more than anyone, It is slowly but surely decreasing with now just Josh Downs and another name we're going to dive into becoming available because when you look at what's actually left, it becomes a little bit more bleak. And we know how much this team needs it, right? They just beat the Jets 35 to 12, but their offense is in desperate, desperate need of a receiver. And if Brett Veach does not go out and get a receiver, that would be an absolute disaster class trade deadline. And I know that even if there isn't a lot of wide receivers available, you just have to go out and get a receiver because the offense isn't broken. The run game is fantastic. The receiver room is kind of broken right now between Thornton getting hurt. Xavier Worthy being hurt, Rasheed Rice not really being, you know, an elite, elite wide receiver. They need something badly and the Chiefs are severely lacking an outside receiver and potentially one with size who can separate against man coverage and that puts one name into the spotlight and we'll dive into him right now. That name is one on the Philadelphia Eagles. Now the Eagles of course open the year very strong. And they won their first game, and they lost seven in a row. They are in a full-blown fire sale, and Dontayvion Wicks has entered the rumor mill, but also has become a very interesting opportunity for this Kansas City Chiefs team. Now, we know yesterday they traded Jordan Davis to Jacksonville for a first-round pick and a second-round pick, in which Philly ate $15 million of dead cap next season to make that deal. All this, you know, is pointing to the fact that the Eagles are, outside of, you know, Devonta Smith, they're basically willing to do a fire sale. I mean, Dallas Goddard's name has been out there as well, which leaves the receiver the Eagles traded for in April available, and that is Dontayvion Wicks, who came over from Green Bay this spring for a fifth and a sixth round pick. Now, Philly, they gave him a one-year $12.5 million deal right away. And in three seasons with the Packers, he caught 108 passes, good for 1300 yards. His best rookie year was his rookie season, or rather his best year was his rookie season in 2023, 39 catches, 581 yards. This year, 284 yards on 19 catches, which isn't actually that bad. It's almost 15 yards every time he catches the ball. And you know, his volume isn't going to be why I think he makes a little bit of sense. It's kind of where he lines up when he plays. He's on the field for 80% of Philly's offensive snaps right now, whereas the typical receiver He plays only about 54. He's drawn nine deep targets this season and 32 over the last three years. He does his best work, obviously, against man coverage, which is exactly what Kansas City needs. So in theory, you could trade for Wicks. It wouldn't cost very much at all. It'd be significantly cheaper, I would assume, or fairly cheaper compared to Josh Downs. And then you can put Wicks on the outside, Rice work in the middle, and then I guess Worthy free to run deep routes still. It doesn't fix your problem. And I still think Josh Downs is probably a better option here. But if your only available option is Dontavion Wicks, I don't hate it and it's definitely an interesting opportunity and reports have started to fly articles started to drop not just involving the Chiefs but in general now because of the fact that the Eagles are willing to trade basically anyone that you know Wicks has become a name that prior to yesterday in their fire sale didn't really make a ton of sense but Josh Downs of course also being on the table the Colts are struggling Downs has 307 yards he lines up in Slot, so on volume Downs is obviously ahead, but. You can pair Wicks and some of the other names. It could be a very good fit for what the Chiefs need, as well as Keishawn Booty as well. Keep an eye out on him as a potential trade target today. Because he's already moved once this year from New England to Houston. He has 194 yards this season. I mean, at the end of the day, folks, I don't think any huge, huge names are going to get moved. I don't think it's going to be Garrett Wilson. I don't think it's going to be George Pickens, though, potentially. I think at the end of the day here, Wicks or Josh Downs makes sense. But what does it mean regarding the price tag for Wicks? Well, Sholak puts Wicks at a day three pick, which wouldn't be very bad at all, fourth or fifth rounder. The money works as well. His whole 2026 cap hit is only 2.3 million. The Chiefs have about 2.7 million in room. So Kansas City would all home about 4.4 across two years. Now, why isn't this done already? Well, I would assume that the Chiefs were waiting out for a guy like Brian Thomas Jr. or potentially waiting till the last hour for one of potentially a bigger swing and a guy like George Pickens if Jerry Jones and the Cowboys decide to move him. Like I mentioned, every video, I mean, the Chiefs, this is not unfamiliar territory, right? They got Kadarius Toney from the Giants back in 2022 with the deadline. I mean, they've made moves in the past, but at the end of the day, this is a very different scenario. This team desperately needs a wide receiver. Teams know that, so they can easily kind of play the leverage game here. No team is going to give the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes, it's just not going to happen, a very easy time, right? I mean, literally, I'm reading here, literally a minute ago or five minutes ago, the Eagles traded their edge, Arnold, to the Bengals in exchange for a sixth-round pick. So if that doesn't show that they're selling, I mean, they're selling literally everybody, it is very clear that this team is in, the Eagles, that is, in a full-blown fire sale. And neither of their wide receivers are going to cost a first or a second or even a third at this point. Now, the catch with Wicks is that he's missed the Eagles' last three games with an ankle injury. He sat against Dallas, Washington, and the Giants. So you're trading for a semi-hurt receiver. With potentially a bet that his ankle is right by January, which is very scary. Now, again, we don't exactly know the severity of his injury, but Wicks does make sense maybe as well as kind of a B option. If he is unhealthy and he's not able to go anytime soon, they need to get another wide receiver. And I think it could be a part of a multi-trade deadline for Brett Veach because at this moment, I mean, if they go out and they get somebody else, maybe a Josh Downs, then you take a flyer, let's say a sixth round pick for Wicks and then potentially stash him. That could actually make a lot of sense. Now, there is still Tyreek Hill, who is also unsigned and that fans are kind of begging for. And it would only cost cap room and nobody wants to, you know, no one needs to tell us these fans what Tyreek Hill would bring to this team. But another note is that Jeremy Fowler said yesterday that the Chiefs are looking and looking hard for a receiver, but the clock is stopping very, very soon. And if you do nothing, I mean, you're going up against a Denver team who's leading the division. They're seven and two. You're going up against, I mean, Buffalo. I mean, Jacksonville is very, very good. The top seed in the AFC. It gets decided in games like one of the games that are coming up for the Chiefs. And if you don't get a wide receiver and potentially O-line, but probably wide receiver mainly to help this room, though they need O-line as well, you're going to be in a rough spot. You cannot afford to continuously waste. Patrick Mahomes' prime years. He's the best quarterback in the NFL in my mind, and he's somebody that, even though this year, you know, the O-line's a little bit rough, you have a fantastic running back finally in Kenneth Walker. Great move by Brett Beach in the offseason. You have to take advantage of that and give up some picks if you have to. So comment down below. Where do you guys kind of view this? Obviously, if Wicks' injury is serious, that's the caveat here. But I think going after a name that, not just Wicks, you need multiple pieces here at this deadline. You need an O-lineman potentially. You need a wide receiver. And if you get Wicks as kind of your second, Now, acquisition as it pertains to a wide receiver at this trade deadline, I think it makes a ton of sense. A fifth or sixth round pick, it doesn't matter at all for a team that's trying to win now. So would you rather them go for him? Do you have somebody else in mind? Keyshawn Booty is another name as well. So comment down below what your thoughts are on this. We'll see you later.
