Stock Down: Offensive Line It's not often that something is a consensus around the NFL, but heading into 2022, the thought that the Chiefs had a top-five offensive line was one. After last year's rebuild of the line was a success, the hope was for the group to keep gelling and improving. Unfortunately, that has yet to be the case this year. The sacks allowed number is OK (12, the sixth-fewest in the NFL) but in the first seven games, that doesn't tell the whole story. The Chiefs have given up 85 pressures within 2.5 seconds of the snap, which is the fourth most. They haven't lived up to expectations and have drastically underperformed for a unit that was supposed to be dominant this season. The decline truly begins with the play of offensive tackles Orlando Brown Jr. and Andrew Wylie. Brown and Wylie may be the worst starting tackle duo in football. They certainly are in consideration when looking at the number of pressures allowed. Brown (24) and Wylie (20) have given up a combined 44 pressures through the first seven weeks, tied for last with Miami's duo. The reason this isn't only about the tackles is that the run blocking as a whole has declined. Near the end of last year, the Chiefs efficiently ran the ball and were gashing teams on the ground. This year, the run blocking has been very hit-or-miss, causing the offense to be 15th in yards per carry compared to last year when they were eighth.https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/chiefs-bye-week-stock-report-who-s-trending-up-and-down/ar-AA13rfEa?cvid=36958ad2611244b1b5bb3486d066b07e

Mostly good things. Think he will do great in KC because Reid will fix his attitude. You need to click on that photo a bit to get it rolling correct. A little funky.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports Kadarius Toney's Thursday trade to the Chiefs came after the wideout and the Giants remained at a loggerheads over his health following a Wednesday meeting. Raanan does not report the meeting was the sole reason Toney was traded, but it clearly didn't help. Toney apparently believed his troublesome hamstrings were "good," while the Giants evidently wanted to hold him out through their Week 9 bye. Now Toney is on bye for Week 8 with the Chiefs. The truth is, the Giants' post-Dave Gettleman/Joe Judge regime never seemed too interested in Toney's services. Regardless of who was right about Toney's latest issue, the issue is that there was always an issue. Toney's upside will be higher with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, but his downside remains 0.0.

"That Joke Would've Been Funny If I Was Actually Hurt Still Lol…..Irrelevant people don't get updates," Toney tweeted. Toney also appeared to tweet goodbye to New York, saying, "Lol please don't go out sad…..thinking i Kare

Agree good points. Giants have the worst passing offense in the league and still dumped this guy. Must have pissed somebody off. Kaftka must have given Chiefs some feedback on this guy and it must have had some good insight or KC does not make this move.

2023 conditional third-round pick 2023 sixth-round pick Chiefs grade: A Perhaps coach Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach had some insight from Mike Kafka, Patrick Mahomes' former QB coach who is now the Giants' offensive coordinator, on why Toney might be a fine fit in Kansas City's offense. When Toney was coming out of Florida, Tyreek Hill was a natural draft comparison because of Toney's dynamic slot playmaking in the open field combined with speedy field-stretching ability. Toney (6-0, 193 pounds) is a little taller than Hill (5-10, 191) but his 4.39 40-yard dash says he also can be fast enough for Kansas City. The Chiefs have made it work after trading Hill to the Dolphins with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and others giving Mahomes some big plays by committee playing off tight end Travis Kelce in the passing game. But rookie second-rounder Skyy Moore, who also drew some Hill comparisons, has been slow to catch on to the offense. Toney, for now, offers more upside. He needs to get healthy after battling hamstring and knee issues. But he can be a factor down the stretch and come playoff time once he absorbs the offense, which should be easier given the Kafka connection. Toney also will have time to fully heal and the Chiefs having a Week 8 bye helps, too. The Chiefs were smart to take a flyer on a guy who can fly for Mahomes. This might turn into an absolute steal as Toney gets a needed change of scenery. NFL power rankings: Plunging Packers, Buccaneers in pan

Chiefs acquired Kadarius Toney from the Giants in exchange for a conditional third-round pick and sixth-round pick. The Score's Jordan Schultz was the first to break the news, as the former 2021 first-round draft pick is now headed for Kansas City. Toney, who has reportedly been battling a hamstring injury all season, has appeared in just two games for the Giants and hasn't been active since Week 2. As a rookie in 2021, Toney was elite after the catch, ranking eighth in YAC/REC (6.7) and 11th in YPRR (2.14) per PFF. He saw 60% of his snaps from the slot last season and could emerge as the Chiefs' primary slot receiver once he has a chance to get fully acclimated with the offense. Toney is a must-add in all leagues where he has been dropped, and is currently rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo fantasy leagues.

I think this has nothing to do with Moore. Thinking a new guy can step in immediately is also unrealistic. Veach had too many picks in his pocket and just had to spend some. Maybe kick returns to start. Hope he becomes a great acquisition.

To the majority. Maybe KC is trading Hardman and needed a replacement? LOL

Two different issues. #1 They made a bad pick and thats on them. #2 They may have reduced some of that bad investment with a 3rd and 6th. I hope the change of scenery makes this Veach best deal ever!

Huge if. Guy has more injuries than I have seen before. Seems like a lazy guy. Unmotivated. Trade a six ok. Trade a third? As usual I hope I am WROMGO. Giants got a nice deal for a guy they clearly dont want and may have cut. Isnt Kaftka in NY?

Toney played in only 10 of 17 games as a rookie, compiling 39 receptions for 420 yards. He missed time twice with COVID-19, had hamstring, quad, oblique, ankle, and shoulder injuries during the season. This year, he missed all of the spring after undergoing minor knee surgery. He played in only two games, catching two passes for zero yards.

Veach makes these deals for former ist rounders but I cant think of any that were good with KC either ? A team makes a poor draft choice and Veach comes calling. Has any deal like this worked out?

The Kansas City Chiefs went all-in on rebuilding their wide receiver group during the offseason and despite seeing the group come together nicely over the last few weeks, the team is adding even more talent to the room. Per Jordan Schultz of theScore, Kansas City is sending a third-round pick and a sixth-round pick to the New York Giants in exchange for wide receiver Kadarius Toney. Schultz's report indicates that the third-round selection is a conditional third-rounder, and Ben Standig of The Athletic reports that the offering is a compensatory selection. The Chiefs have one of those (in addition to their own third-rounder that was normally issued) due to Ryan Poles joining the Chicago Bears organization. With ample future picks to work with, general manager Brett Veach adds an intriguing talent to the mix in Kansas City in exchange for projected Day Two and Day Three draft capital.

But Toney’s time with the Giants immediately got off to a rough start. He dealt with cleat issues during rookie minicamp and the problems only became more pronounced from there. He routinely missed practice time and games due to a wide variety of injuries, which is something that carried over into 2022. As frustration grew, Toney lashed out at both reporters and fans via social media, eventually walking back some of those statements. However, the maturity issues persisted over time. Despite the best effort from head coach Brian Daboll, Toney never seemed to fit in and was constantly hamstrung (no pun intended) by injury. He suffered three separate hamstring injuries this year, causing him to six-plus games. In two games this season, Toney caught just two passes for 23 yards and rushed the ball three times for two yards. He finished last season with 39 receptions for 420 yards and no touchdowns. Although dynamic when healthy and on the field, Toney never seemed to fit in with the Giants and became expendable. A third and a sixth? Dont like it. Injury prone reciver.

I do not like this trade.

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded for wide receiver Kadarius Toney in a deal with the New York Giants. The Kansas City Chiefs looked like a team that might address a need or two before the NFL’s looming trade deadline on November 1. On Thursday, they made a deal with the New York Giants to send a 3rd-round pick and a sixth-round choice in exchange for former first-round wide receiver Kadarius Toney.

Texans released LB Kamu Grugier-Hill. The 28-year-old veteran reportedly asked for and was granted his release from Houston. He played just 32% of the defensive snaps last week against the Raiders after being an every-down player at the start of the year. Grugier-Hill will likely look for a contender to join for the second half of the season.

I doubt he can get an upgrade but maybe a important rotational guy. I would like a corner. Assunimg our #1 pick is a shut down guy is a huge assumption. He may be great and I sure hope he is. He has played all of 20 NFL snaps. Like to see a veteran corner to rotate in and for depth.

According to ESPN reporters Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, there is belief that the Cleveland Browns would be willing to part with Hunt in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. Hunt has split reps in the Browns' backfield with Nick Chubb since signing with the team in 2019. However, he could likely serve as the starter for most NFL teams. As a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, Hunt racked up 1,782 scrimmage yards as a rookie in 2017 and more than 1,200 yards in 11 games the following season.

So happy KC did not do a deal for Quinn.

ROBERT QUINNEDGE, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Eagles acquired EDGE Robert Quinn from the Bears. Eagles acquired EDGE Robert Quinn from the Bears in exchange for a fourth-round pick. The Eagles are 6-0 and have their sights set on a Super Bowl. With Derek Barnett (knee) lost for the season in Week 1, Quinn gives the Eagles more juice off the edge, alongside guys like Haason Reddick, Brandon Graham, and Josh Sweat. Quinn, 32, has 102 career sacks and had been on the trade block dating back to the offseason. Going to Philly puts him in a spot to contribute in a playoff run.

https://arrowheadaddict.com/2022/10/26/jerry-hughes-trade-make-sense-kc-chiefs/ Jerry Hughes trade would make sense for KC Chiefs First, it should be noted that Hughes is a very productive player even at the age of 34 and for a losing team. Hughes has put up 4 sacks, 8 pressures, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception this year for the Texans, putting up a solid 76.3 grade from Pro Football Focus. As a productive vet, Hughes would be a solid addition to the mix for the Chiefs. Beyond this year, the Texans signed Hughes on the cheap to a two-year deal this spring, which means that Hughes could be had for next season for just over $6M. That’s an option for the Chiefs if they like what they see, but the truth is only $1.25M of that is guaranteed—as part of his originally signing bonus. Maybe the Chiefs can even get Houston to eat that, knowing how much money they have comparatively. Either way, Hughes is not cost-prohibitive. Considering that the Chiefs have more draft picks than they will be able to actually keep next year, it makes sense for them to send a day 3 pick to Houston for the chance to lock up the defensive end position with another productive vet. It’s a move that will make everyone better, take the pressure off of the position, works well within the cap, and even gives the team an option for next year.
