Chiefs Trade for More Reinforcements for QB Patrick Mahomes
The Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly acquired rookie offensive tackle Diego Pounds in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly acquired offensive tackle Diego Pounds from the Baltimore Ravens in a trade, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Pounds, an undrafted free agent from Ole Miss, was competing for a roster spot during training camp. The Ravens received a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick in return for Pounds.
Pounds transferred to Ole Miss from North Carolina during his junior year and started in all 15 games of the 2025 season. The Chiefs are bolstering their offensive line by adding Pounds, who brings depth to the position. Earlier this week, the Chiefs also traded for veteran offensive lineman Josh Ezeudu from the New York Giants.
Starting left tackle Josh Simmons has a back issue and is currently day-to-day, potentially missing time if a more severe injury is diagnosed. The additions of Pounds and Ezeudu provide the Chiefs with valuable depth for their offensive line.
