Chiefs, Cooper, Browns, Jefferson, Bills, Eagles

Reminiscent of the Patriots of the 2010s Chiefs have continued to pile up wins that lacked style points. They are the only undefeated players in the NFL, although the two-time reigning Super Bowl champions are 43 points ahead of the NFL, thanks to four one-score victories. Kansas City lost Rashee Rice for the season and Marquise Brown is canceled for at least the entire regular season. The team also lost JuJu Smith-Schuster on Sunday; The recently re-signed veteran suffered a hamstring injury and will miss at least Week 8. Andy Reid said.

While the Chiefs have an all-time best at tight end Travis KelceDespite being a 35-year-old version of the TE/podcast host/actor, they haven't seen the A-lister yet Xavier Worthy develop into a consistent option. The team used Mecole Hardman more, with Justin Watson And Skyy Moore resumed their role as starters in 2023 on Sunday due to injuries. Although Kansas City continues to get by — thanks largely to a strong defense — SI.com's Albert Breer points out that the team is still interested in adding a wideout.

The Chiefs have been linked to them DeAndre Hopkins And Christian Kirk recently but haven't taken any step. It will be interesting to see if an AFC team would be willing to help them get a better three-peat. NFCer Cooper Kuppis available – albeit for a second-round pick. With the deadline pushed back a week this year (to November 5th), here's more from the trading market:

• Amari Cooper moved to Buffalo last week with the Tan — after not extending the reliable veteran this offseason — he dealt him to the Bills in a pick-swap trade led by a 2025 third-rounder. According to cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, the Browns planned to hold on to Cooper, until the deadline approached. In addition to Buffalo, Cabot said two other teams were part of the previous top-five pick, adding that the other suitors couldn't match the Bills' aggressiveness. Cooper didn't expect him to be dealt, and the Browns didn't expect the Bills to show this much interest. The 30-year-old pass catcher caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in his Bills debut.
• The Bills aren't closing the door on taking another step to bolster their ongoing Super Bowl quest. Bill's GM Brandon Beane said during one Pat McAfee Show interview that Josh AllenThe team's presence, despite the team's cost-cutting measures this offseason, ensures the club remains “fully committed” to a Super Bowl push. The eighth-year GM is open to more deals, although Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic points out that a lesser-known trade — perhaps for a backup offensive lineman — could be the Cooper addition. Beane added that the Browns showing Cooper cold feet caused the team to continue looking at the receiver. Cooper's presence rounds out Buffalo's receiving corps, which has improved Khalil Shakir and some recent additions from rookie Keon Coleman.
• Another Tan Player drawing trade interest: veteran D-lineman Quinton Jefferson. According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, teams have inquired about the latest free agent signing. Jefferson is a prolific but nomadic player who has played for five teams in the last five years. The former Seahawks draftee served as the Browns' backup, playing in five games and registering one sack. The Browns used empty years to reduce Jefferson's cap hit to $1.2 million (on a one-year, $4 million contract), allowing an acquiring team to receive a minimal prorated amount in the event of a trade. The Browns can be expected to move other pieces that aren't essential to their plans for 2025 and beyond, but Myles Garrett And Denzel Ward are considered off the table.
• The eagle received a return attempt after their pass rush on Sunday and kept chasing Andrew Thomas' Absence to sack Giants quarterbacks eight times. Jalen Carter and off-ball linebacker Nakobe Dean went ahead with two people each. The other four played on defense, but the fringe started slowly. Big FA signing Bryce Huff has 1.5 sacks and just three QB hits in six games. At the start of Week 7, the Eagles added Breer – they hardly shied away from trade talks Howie Roseman – could be a team to watch for a pass rushing addition.
