I figured I would create one location to house all of the breaking news, rumors, pessimism, despair, helplessness, frustration, and of course optimism leading up to the 2019 NFL Trade Deadline on:
Tuesday, October 29th @ 4:00p Eastern Time
3 weeks from today! We all have ideas of what the Chiefs need so I won't go into that, but hopefully this day will come and go with better results than last year for us. [Reply]
Ragland's addition was fantastic, but KC also got a boost with Mathieu playing in the box.

I'd still add something to the d if you can. Shutting down a pee wee offense like the Broncos is great, but they'll need more than that going forward. [Reply]
Which players could Chiefs be interested in as trade deadline approaches?
With the deadline 2019 NFL trade deadline a week from today, the Kansas City Chiefs will work to figure out which teams are selling and which players will be available. As teams self-evaluate, more players could become available.
Right now, there are several teams that are likely to be sellers at the deadline. I’ve identified four defenders that the Chiefs could be interested in were they to become available. Let’s take a look:
Redskins CB Quinton Dunbar
I suggested the Chiefs make this trade*ahead of the 2019 season, and sure enough, Dunbar is now Pro Football Focus’ No. 1-ranked cornerback. He’ll likely cost more than a fifth-round pick, as I previously suggested. Kansas City even had conversations about Dunbar with the Redskins during the Alex Smith trade negotiations.
I like the idea of adding a player like Dunbar to the mix because he has chemistry with Bashaud Breeland and Kendall Fuller from their time together in Washington. He’s a guy that can really change the complexion of this secondary and help give the pass rush some more time to hit home. He also has a year left on his contract, so he can fill a need beyond the 2019 season.
The Redskins are a directionless 1-6 team that recently fired their head coach. With a new coaching regime coming in they’ll want to begin stockpiling draft picks. They could potentially hold on to a player like Dunbar, but right now his stock is incredibly high and it likely won’t ever be higher. He’s quietly regarded as one of the top corners in the NFL. They need to sell high, and even then I’m not sure the asking price will scare Kansas City away, especially considering what they were willing to give up for Jalen Ramsey.
I'd flip a 4th for him in a heartbeat. Only scheduled to make $3.2M next year and gives the Chiefs some flexibility given Breland and Fuller are not under contract in 2020.
Veach has to do something!!! Need a starter somewhere on defense. A CB opposite of Ward would be nice or a LB. maybe add another offensive weapon if you can [Reply]
#Chiefs that's a lot of money for very little production, Clark. I think it's time to reconsider Brett Veach's position as GM. pic.twitter.com/YWwUqsyTaO
