The Kansas City Chiefs have a clear wide receiver issue but they have a plan in place for one of them.
According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs may be trying to trade a receiver instead of trading for one.
The defending champs are exploring potential trade options for WR Richie James.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN: “The Chiefs and WR Richie James are exploring trade possibilities, per source. James – who’s on IR but would be healthy for a new team – appears the odd man out after Mecole Hardman trade. James had 50 catches for 569 yards and four touchdowns for the Giants in 2022.”
James, who hasn’t played since Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a knee injury, was placed on the injured reserve list last month.
In two games this season, James was targeted three times on offense. The 28-year-old has recorded one catch for six yards.

If a trade does materialize, the Chiefs are not expecting much in return. That can likely get something similar to the Mecole Hardman trade which was the player and a future seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round selection.
