Chiefs GM Brett Veach announced the team is seeking to acquire a wide receiver before the upcoming trade deadline on Tuesday. The Chiefs have struggled with one of the least productive wide receiver groups in the NFL, particularly since Tyquan Thornton's injury in Week 4. Veach indicated that, while the team is exploring options, some of the top players they were eyeing are already off the market. Current leading receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice have not consistently produced significant yardage. The Chiefs will continue discussions as the trade deadline approaches.
