According to veteran insider Tracy Wolfson, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has an extremely simple strategy in store for the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
In an interview with Wolfson before Kansas City's Week 9 win over the New York Jets, Veach revealed that he had "increased dialogue" relative to a potential acquisition at the wide receiver position.
While Veach seems to have stopped short of revealing exactly who the Chiefs might be targeting — and how much he might be willing to give up to land a star pass-catcher — all signs are indicating that Kansas City will pursue a wide receiver before the trade deadline passes on November 10:

Given that former first-round pick Xavier Worthy exited the Chiefs' latest victory due to a hamstring injury, Veach will need to redouble his efforts to find a compatible trading partner if he intends to acquire a wideout who can suit up for Kansas City's Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
