After their latest loss to the Buffalo Bills and now 5-4, it shouldn’t be a surprise if the Kansas City Chiefs make some moves in the trade market, and that could include wide receiver Tyquan Thornton. According to Bleacher Report, the source believes the Chiefs may trade Thornton in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Kansas City has been having an abysmal season when it comes to their pass secondary ever since they lost Justin Reid to the New Orleans Saints in free agency this past offseason. Bryan Cook has yet to make any promising strides while allowing a passing rating of 128.1, which is a lackluster performance for a team’s secondary that was once good.
However, if the Chiefs want to defeat other AFC teams like the Broncos, Chargers, Ravens and Bills, they must make a few trades, and it might have to start on defense. While Fitzpatrick won’t single-handedly carry the Chiefs into playoff contention, he has experience and drive like he did with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that went out the window once he came back to Miami. Either way, Thornton should be a solid name in trade rumors before the deadline, as Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy will receive a bigger role as Rice is slowly returning to the lineup.
It would prepare the Dolphins to move into a new regime without Tyreek Hill, who is expected to be cut once the year is over. However, don’t be surprised if these three teams call up the Chiefs regarding Thornton.
