The Kansas City Chiefs enter their bye week at 5-0. The Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings are the two teams that are still undefeated in the NFL.

The fact that Kansas City is 5-0 is remarkable considering all the injuries they have already dealt with. They lost Isiah Pacheco, Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice.

Brown and Rice are expected to miss the remainder of the season, putting pressure on Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid to figure things out.

The Chiefs are linked to multiple pass catchers on the trade block. And in one planned trade, Kansas City is getting a star receiver from one of their biggest rivals in the league.

In an article written by Jeff Diamond of the 33rd team, he has the Chiefs trading for WR Tee Higgins from the Cincinnati Bengals.

He made some good points around Higgins and the Bengals. They are 1-4 and could look to acquire some draft capital in exchange for him. In addition, Higgins is on the franchise tag, worth $21.8 million. If the Bengals don’t start winning, Higgins could make a move.

“If they don’t go on a winning streak in the coming weeks, I can see the team deciding to trade Higgins at the trade deadline, as long as they can get a higher pick than what a compensatory pick would yield in 2025.”

A compensatory pick would at best be a late third-rounder for the Bengals, so they would likely be looking for a second-rounder in exchange for Higgins. According to OvertheCap, the Chiefs only have $4.1 million available in cap space, so they would have to move things around to make Higgins’ salary fit. But teams always find a way to move money when they need to.

GM Brett Veach would have to do some gymnastics to make it work, but getting a player like Higgins into the fold would be huge, especially since it would come from a rival.

The Chiefs would improve their roster, while the Bengals would retire in 2024 by moving on from Higgins.

The Clemson product is a reliable playmaker due to his 6’4 frame and safe hands at the catch point. In his career, Higgins has 275 receptions for 3,866 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns.

He would immediately step into the WR1 role and help make up for the losses at wideout. The Chiefs and Bengals have bad blood on the field, but that doesn’t mean they can’t mutually benefit each other in a potential trade.
