NFL Trade: Chiefs Land Offensive Help in Deal With Giants
The Kansas City Chiefs added help to their offensive line in a trade with the New York Giants. The post NFL Trade: Chiefs Land Offensive Help in Deal With Giants appeared first on HEAVY.
The Kansas City Chiefs bolstered their offensive line by acquiring veteran linebacker Joshua Ezeudu from the New York Giants in a trade. Ezeudu, a former Jet, had spent his entire NFL career with the Giants before joining the Chiefs. The trade involved the Chiefs sending a late-round draft pick to the Giants, providing the Chiefs with additional depth on the offensive line.
Ezeudu, a third-round pick by the Giants in 2022, had appeared in 33 games with 10 starts before being placed on injured reserve in August. The Chiefs had uncertain plans for offensive lineman Kahlil Benson, and the trade provided them with replacement options. The Giants had initially planned to shift Ezeudu from tackle to guard, but ultimately decided to keep him primarily on the right side.
Head coach John Harbaugh expressed confidence in Ezeudu's ability to play both guard and tackle, noting his versatility as a backup.
