The Kansas City Chiefs are working to balance out their 0-2 start to the season. Andy Reid’s team is looking to gain more defensive solidity, and a former Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles is currently available. Meanwhile, superstar Patrick Mahomes could soon play alongside a former rival from last season’s decisive matchup.
The experience of a Super Bowl champion could provide the Chiefs with a much-needed spark after a shaky beginning to the campaign. The Week 2 rematch against the Eagles was a tough blow to Kansas City’s hopes of extending their dynasty with Mahomes as its centerpiece.
Reid is always alert to opportunities that could bring a new face to the Chiefs before the trade deadline. Several possibilities are starting to surface, especially after the release of a recent Super Bowl winner.
Which Super Bowl champion from the Eagles could join the Chiefs?
The Super Bowl-winning with the Eagles linked to Kansas City is none other than CJ Gardner-Johnson, who was recently released by the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old safety played a key role for Philadelphia in their victory over the Chiefs.
