This is quite reminiscent of the Chiefs bringing in Steve DeBerg or Trent Green.

The AFC West just got a lot tighter.

well they've certainly had enough top 10 picks over the past several years to accumulate some talent. It's not the worst move they could have done tbh.

If they draft Jeanty and get one more WR they could compete

Even in a full rebuild, would they really trade away a 24 year old LT?

Raiders' blockbuster trade for Geno Smith opens up the path for rival Chiefs to secure their left tackle of the future

The Las Vegas Raiders' blockbuster deal to acquire Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith might have just helped the Kansas City Chiefs find their left tackle of the future.

All signs point toward a major overhaul in Seattle this offseason. They've reversed course on Smith, said goodbye to veteran WR Tyler Lockett, and are entertaining trade inquiries on star WR DK Metcalf. It all begs the question, who else could be available in trade?

The Chiefs need to find a long-term solution for the left tackle position. It's not a secret, but it's also apparent that they lack many viable options via free agency. It just so happens that Seahawks LT Charles Cross is entering the final year of his rookie deal. But could he possibly be available? At the right price, anyone is available in the NFL.

It would make a lot of sense for Seattle to shop Cross. He'll command a top-of-market contract extension in 2026, and your organization no longer has a franchise quarterback. He might also simply not want to play for a team without one.
