Chiefs seek wide receiver help ahead of NFL trade deadline

As the 2026 NFL trade deadline approaches, the Kansas City Chiefs are actively pursuing wide receiver upgrades. Following the season-ending injury to Tyquan Thornton, the team has turned its focus on bolstering their receiving corps, with several potential trade candidates in mind. Insider Jonathan Jones of The Athletic expressed confidence that the Chiefs will make a move, stating he would be "floored" if they don't add a receiver by the deadline. Names such as Brian Thomas Jr. and Josh Downs have emerged as possible targets, along with Hollywood Brown as a cheaper option. The Chiefs appear poised to offer quarterback Patrick Mahomes another target before Week 10.
