Chiefs acquire offensive linemen Joshua Ezeudu and Diego Pounds via trades

The Kansas City Chiefs added depth to their offensive line by completing two trades ahead of the NFL regular season. The team acquired Joshua Ezeudu from the New York Giants for a 2028 seventh-round draft pick and traded for Diego Pounds from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick. These moves occur as the organization seeks to bolster its line following a lingering back injury to Josh Simmons, who has been sidelined for nearly two weeks. Ezeudu, a former top-100 selection, provides experience at both guard and tackle, while Pounds joins the roster after appearing as a depth player for Baltimore during training camp. The team faces a deadline to trim its roster to 53 players by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 30, 2026.
