According to insider Tom Pelissero, the Kansas City Chiefs are among three teams in the market for a wide receiver ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
Along with the Chiefs, the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers are said to be considering a move to add another pass-catcher, with veteran wideouts Brian Thomas Jr., Josh Downs, and Calvin Ridley among the players believed to be available.
Take a look at Pelissero's full breakdown on the wide receiver situation, which was posted to the reporter's official Twitter account on November 7, just days before the trade deadline is set to pass.

While there have been plenty of reports about the Chiefs' potential interest in Thomas and Downs, Pelissero's latest report is among the first to link Kansas City to Ridley, who may be made available to general manager Brett Veach for a lower price than his younger counterparts on the trade block.
