A giant trade proposal has the Kansas City Chiefs offense getting even more dangerous with the addition of a two-time All-Pro from an AFC rival.
In February, the Kansas City Chiefs became the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots. Up next, Kansas City will try to become the first team in NFL history to perform the three-peat.
GM Brett Veach made two splashy moves to improve the offense this offseason, signing former 1,000-yard wideout Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown to a one-year deal before using his first-round pick on Texas wideout Xavier Worthy.
If there’s one question mark on the Chiefs’ offense, it’s the left tackle position. They never re-signed Donovan Smith, and 2023 third-round pick Wanya Morris is currently slotted in as the starter.
Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine proposed a massive trade idea that has the Chiefs addressing the void at tackle by acquiring Cleveland Browns superstar and two-time First-Team All-Pro Jack Conklin:
“Finding a tackle solution at this stage in the game is never easy, but the Cleveland Browns’ tackle situation could open up an opportunity. Jack Conklin is a proven veteran but when he went down with a knee injury in last season’s opener it paved the way for Dawand Jones to put together a surprisingly strong campaign as a rookie.
Jones suffered his own knee injury that ended his season, but he proved he could be the team’s starter. If the Browns feel he could be ready by Week 1 it could create the opportunity for the Chiefs to get a new starter.
This would require either Conklin or Taylor to make the switch to left but that still feels safer than relying on Morris and Suamataia this year.”This would require either Conklin or Taylor to make the switch to left but that still feels safer than relying on Morris and Suamataia this year.”

Late in the 2022 season, the Browns handed Conklin a four-year contract extension worth $60 million that keeps him under contract through the 2026 campaign. So the Kansas City Chiefs would have to perform some cap gymnastics to fit Conklin under their cap long-term.
But if Conklin is available for the right price, the Chiefs should definitely inquire about a trade and try to add that one last missing piece on their o-line.
Kansas City Chiefs Open Season vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat will begin on Sept. 5, when they welcome reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.
This will be a rematch of the 2023 AFC Championship Game, in which the Chiefs upset the Ravens 17-10 inside their own stadium. Jackson and company figure to be one of Kansas City’s primary challengers in the AFC, so don’t be surprised if the Sept. 5 meeting is a preview of another playoff game next January.
