Five Pass Rushers the Chiefs Could Consider at the Trade Deadline

It has been one of the weirdest half seasons in the NFL to date. The bottom half of the league consists of teams like the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Green Bay Packers. The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated, the New York Giants and Jets are a combined 11-5, and Geno Smith is a revelation for the 5-3 Seahawks.

The topsy-turvy nature so far means some teams that may be looking to unload assets in previous years may not be as motivated, and the usual contenders aren’t blowing things up as they try to claw back into the fold.

The defensive end market seems to be hot relative other positions. By all indications there are some top pass rushers available for the right price. This is good news for the Chiefs, whose clear biggest area of concerns for 2022 is the four man pass rush’s ability to affect the quarterback.

At 3pm CST, NFL teams will no longer be able to trade for the remainder of the season. Here are five defensive ends the Chiefs should consider acquiring before the trade deadline.
