Why would Dallas do that? They're going to give CeeDee whatever he wants and build around him.
Terry McLaurin is the best bet for a quality WR trade, IMO, and that would require him using his opt out after 24 as leverage to force a trade, and then KC backing up the truck for him once they get him and he demands a new deal or he still opts out (at which point you're better off trying to sign Mike Evans or Calvin Ridley, since they're all around the same age and would have the same yearly price tag).
Let's run through WRs who could be considered better or on par with the tier available in FA (Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley, Marquise Brown, Odell Beckham).
MIN - Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison. Addison is on a rookie deal and won't be traded. Jefferson COULD be, if they were blowing it up and starting over, but they seem a lot more likely to just try to reload and commit to him.
CIN - Jamar Chase, Tee Higgins. They're not going to trade Chase and I don't think they trade Higgins, either. They'll tag him and keep him, or trade him to the NFC. They certainly won't trade him to a team they're chasing in the AFC.
BUF - Diggs. Again, unlikely AF. They have no replacement for him, and wouldn't move him to KC.
NYJ - Garrett Wilson. Yeah, no. Not happening.
MIA - Hill, Waddle. THeir whole offense is built around these 2. More likely to trade Tua than either of them.
BAL - they won't move Zay Flowers on a rookie deal, obviously.
CLE - Cooper is their one good receiving weapon. I guess they could move him, but why?
PIT - Maybe they'd move Diontae Johnson, who has a year left on his deal.
TEN - Hopkins would be reasonable to add, but why would the Titans unload the one weapon they have for their young QB?
AFC West - let's not get silly The Raiders aren't going to trade Adams to KC< the LAC wouldn't trade one of their guys, and the Broncos wouldn't either.
SEA - They're competing and probably walking on Tyler Lockett. They won't move DK.
LAR - Kupp is getting up their in age, but their window is now. Unlikely.
ARZ - nothing to trade unless they tag Brown.
49ers - we've talked about Aiyuk a lot. They're going to want a ton for him if available, likely the type of price AJ Brown took.
TB - Godwin? But why.
NO - Olave? Yeah, no.
CAR - nothing to move.
WAS - Could move McLaurin, there are issues with it, he's going to want a new deal if it happens.
NYG - Nothing to move.
PHI - what, they're going to move Brown or Smith? Can't see it.
There just aren't a lot of trade fits. You don't have many guys holding their team hostage for a contract yet, you don't have teams entering a clear rebuild where they can move that WR.
