Kansas City Chiefs consider trade options for cornerback Kristian Fulton

Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs may look to trade cornerback Kristian Fulton, who had a challenging first season with the team. Fulton, 27, missed significant time due to a knee procedure and later an ankle injury, ultimately finishing with 16 tackles and six pass deflections in eight games. He is currently behind Mansoor Delane and Nohl Williams on the depth chart, making his $10 million contract substantial for a third-string player. General manager Brett Veach is expected to explore trade options rather than release Fulton outright, as he could be an asset for teams needing cornerback help. Fulton is in the final year of a two-year, $20 million deal.
