Chiefs acquire Joshua Ezeudu from Giants in trade for future pick

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded a 2028 seventh-round pick to acquire offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu from the New York Giants. Ezeudu, a former third-round pick in 2022, adds depth to the Chiefs' offensive line protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. His previous experience includes primarily spot starts, and he has not allowed pressure during the 2026 preseason across 45 pass-block snaps. The move is seen as low-cost insurance for Mahomes, particularly following an overhaul of the Chiefs' offensive line in recent years. Ezeudu's last regular-season appearance was in 2024 before sustaining a calf injury that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season.
