Andy Reid and Brett Veach shocked the NFL with a blockbuster trade to get DeAndre Hopkins. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs are clear favorites to win another Super Bowl.
The legendary head coach had to make that move considering how injuries have decimated the wide receiver position. Itās important to remember that the Chiefs had already lost Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice.
So, in order to help Patrick Mahomes, the teamās front office just gave the quarterback a much needed star player. However, there could be more moves before the trade deadline.
Who did the Chiefs trade for?
The Kansas City Chiefs already made a huge trade to get DeAndre Hopkins sending a fifth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans. Nevertheless, there are still big names available such as Cooper Kupp or Mike Williams.
Although Kupp might not leave the Rams after Thursdayās win over the Vikings and Sean McVayās statement to keep him in Los Angeles, Williamsā situation is totally different as he has been relegated by the Jets with the arrival of Davante Adams and the presence of Garrett Wilson.

Will the Chiefs trade for another wide receiver?
So, in the middle of this intriguing scenario, a reporter put Reid on the spot with this question: āAre you done at wide receiver? The deadline is still a couple of weeks away. You guys have anything else going on?ā
Andy Reid made a pause and delivered a hilarious answer: āOnly if you want to jump in and take a few reps (laughs).ā Although this might seem as a door closed to a trade, we cannot forget that, just a few days ago, LeSean McCoy claimed that Brett Veach told him there was no money to bring a wide receiver.
