Insider reveals Chiefs 'lurking' for WR ahead of NFL trade deadline

In an appearance on NFL Network’s ‘The Aftermath,’ expert insider Jeremy Fowler revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs are “lurking” for a wide receiver ahead of the 2026 trade deadline.

Fowler’s comments were made after he discussed the possibility of a deal that might send Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. to a new team, though the veteran reporter indicated that the chances of such a move are slim.

Instead, Fowler indicated that Kansas City has a more general interest in acquiring a new pass-catcher.

Listen to Fowler’s full comments on the matter in this video, which was posted to the insider’s official Twitter account:

“The Kansas City Chiefs are lurking here,” Fowler says. “They have been looking hard for a receiver.”

If Chiefs general manager Brett Veach intends to make a deal happen, he will have to act quickly before the trade deadline passes at 3 p.m. CT on November 10.
