NFL insider sounds off on expectations for Chiefs at trade deadline

NFL insider Adam Schefter has shared his predictions for the Kansas City Chiefs as the league approaches its November 10 trade deadline. Kansas City is currently on a two-game losing streak after defeats to the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos in the previous two weeks of the 2026 NFL season. The offense under Andy Reid's leadership began the season strongly with the assistance of Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III, but the team's receiving corps has underperformed in recent contests.

According to Schefter, it would be surprising if the Chiefs did not make a move for a receiver before the trade deadline on the following Tuesday. He emphasized that adding a wide receiver would undoubtedly enhance the Chiefs' chances of securing another Super Bowl championship. However, the front office faces a challenge with only around $1,250,000 in available salary cap space. General manager Brett Veach will need to be resourceful with the team's finances if he intends to carry out a high-profile trade.
