NFL Insider discusses potential Chiefs trade involving QB Justin Fields
Summary

As the 2026 NFL season progresses, trade talk surrounds the Kansas City Chiefs regarding backup quarterback Justin Fields. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler indicates that the Chiefs may consider trading Fields if inquiries arise, especially amid injuries at the quarterback position across the league. Fields, who was traded to the Chiefs from the New York Jets last offseason, has not seen action this season, allowing Garrett Nussmeier's performance in preseason to elevate his status as the second-string option. The Chiefs may act if the situation develops further as the trade deadline approaches.
