The Kansas City Chiefs are making another move before the 2024 NFL trade deadline to help Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes even more.

The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t done helping Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes chase another Super Bowl.

With the 2024 NFL trade deadline drawing nearer, general manager Brett Veach has pulled off yet another signing.

According to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

The Chiefs are trading for New England Patriots linebacker Josh Uche.

In return, the Foxborough franchise is reportedly getting a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Uche was a healthy scratch on Sunday, with the Patriots listing him as inactive for the Week 8 win over the New York Jets though the player didn’t have any injury.

That decision already raised suspicions, and now it’s clear a trade was imminent.

Chiefs created cap space to make another trade

This comes shortly after the front office helped Reid and Mahomes in offense with the arrival of star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

However, the Chiefs had already prepared themselves for this situation by making a smart and necessary move.

On Friday, the Chiefs restructured right tackle Jawaan Taylor’s contract, creating $5.3 million in cap space.

Since the team was $100,000 over the cap after landing Hopkins, this kind of action was crucial to make room for another potential trade.
