1. Trading De'Anthony Thomas makes some sense given how little he's been used to this point, but with the trade of Knile Davis it seems unlikely the Chiefs will want to part with another returner.
2. Trading for Antoine Bethea is downright stupidity. Not only are you potentially throwing away a mid-round draft choice on a guy that's hit that magic age where players start to fall off, but you're taking on a rather significant starter's salary of over 4.5 million per.
3. Trading for Brent Grimes is a worse idea than trading for Bethea. Just see #2 for reasons, tack on another year of age, and a bit of LR cancer.
4. While I like the idea of adding Vontae Davis, he'd likely be expensive (at least a 3rd round pick) and he'd have to fit into the Chiefs cap. The Chiefs would assume the remainder of his $7.125 million salary in 2016, essentially slamming them up against the cap wall, and $9 million in 2017 (signing bonuses don't transfer). Not only all of this, but the Colts would have to want to deal one of the few good players they have on defense.
