In 24 hours, at 3:00 p.m. Arrowhead time, the NFL Trade Deadline will pass, and the league’s 32 teams will no longer be able to make deals with opposing front offices to acquire players.
It’s the last chance for the Kansas City Chiefs to make a more significant addition than a free-agent signing, although the Cheetah — former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill — is still available and reportedly will be ready to return to play in November.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, on “The Aftermath” on NFL Network Monday afternoon, shared that the Chiefs have been interested in Brian Thomas Jr. “going back to last year.” He went on to say “it feels like a matter of when, not if; we just don’t know if something is going to happen this season or maybe in the offseason… one of the issues for the Jaguars is: how much do they want to help a team that could potentially be someone they could see down the road?”
NFL Insider Jeremy Fowler, on “The Aftermath” on NFL Network Monday afternoon, said the Chiefs “are lurking” and have been “looking hard” for a receiver. He floated the question if Kansas City would make a move for one of Thomas or Josh Downs.
Rapoport also mentioned a fourth-round pick being the potential price for Downs.
