ESPN Trade Proposal Brings Vikings WR To Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs would be very wise to acquire a wide receiver sometime before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. 

The Chiefs' leading pass-catcher is tight end Travis Kelce, and the offense certainly needs a boost in the WR room, specifically. 

One prediction has Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs landing in Kansas City, and that would be a good fit. 

Another name mentioned is Jacksonville Jaguars youngster Brian Thomas Jr., and that would be another solid fit. 

ESPN's Ben Solak had some trade proposals ahead of the deadline, and his proposal had Kansas City land Minnesota Vikings WR Jauan Jennings. 

Jennings previously played for the San Francisco 49ers, and reports swirled that he even shut down a trade that would've sent him back to San Francisco. 

In Solak's proposal, he has Jennings and a 2027 fifth-round pick going to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 fourth-round pick.

"I've always thought Jennings would make a good Chief," Solak wrote. 

His reasoning also includes the fact that Jennings is a good blocker and a physical player, so he could serve several purposes for Kansas City. 

On top of that, Jennings has expressed frustration in his roles during his days in San Francisco and Minnesota, but he would immediately garner a ton of targets if he lands in the offense led by Patrick Mahomes. 

Jennings signed a one-year deal in the offseason with Minnesota, but he has just 6 catches for 54 yards in six games. 

He had 55 catches last season for the 49ers, so his role has taken a major hit, and the Vikings have a lot of other options on offense. 

Jennings would be a rental for the Chiefs, and in Solak's proposal, it's a pick swap and another later pick to land Jennings in what wouldn't be a bad price. 

That could also allow Kansas City to make some other moves at the deadline in hopes of piecing together a Super Bowl roster. 

Jennings had 2 catches for 11 yards on Nov. 1 against the Detroit Lions, and it might be better off for the Vikings to get something for him while they can. 

Jennings would be a big boost to the Chiefs WR room, and while there are other options, the front office in Kansas City has a busy few days ahead of them if they want to add another wide receiver.
