Other than the one the Chiefs did make - bringing back someone who had been a useful weapon in this offense and could quickly get up to speed.
But this whole "They should have traded for a WR!" thing some of you keep hammering is like me shouting "I should have hooked up with Alexandra Daddario!"

That's just silly. How do you know there was no trade to be made? Your feelings? We know that Veach and Reid flat out said they didn't call anyone or inquire because they wanted to develop Skyy Moore!
We also know players like Jerry Jeudy were being shopped but that teams weren't offering what they wanted. Now I'm using that as an example but that's how it works. If you offer the right team not competing enough most will part with someone we could use.
We didn't try AND we didn't have the $$$ ready to do so.
That is not a good look to not be ready to improve your team when you employ a risky No WR build.
Now you say well we were great last year with Kelce and JuJu so that's the formula. If that is true, they didn't bother to replicate the formula as they took more $$$$ from the offense and used it on defensive depth with no #1 or #2 WR on the roster.
