Kansas City Chiefs Trade For Star Wide Receiver In Trade Scenario

The Kansas City Chiefs are being talked about in a trade proposal that would send Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney over to Kansas City. The NFL trade deadline is today and everyone is expecting a lot of moves to be made by various teams. According to Bleacher Report, this is one scenario that would benefit the Chiefs the most.

KC and GM Brett Veach have had an interest in Mooney for some time now.

Kansas City has already added a new receiver to their corps in Mecole Hardman, so it would make sense for them to further the depth of their receiving room even more. Rookie Rashee Rice has been starting to show potential to be great, but the team’s young group of pass catchers has yet to show any kind of consistency throughout the season.

Adding a veteran like Mooney would help them with this issue as he could serve as a great example and teach the youngsters a thing or two. He has struggled with the Bears this season but has still managed to put up a 1,000-yard season on his resumé. Head coach Andy Reid would certainly bring the best out of him as he does with all of his players.

So far this season, Mooney has amounted to just 225 receiving yards and one touchdown. The Bears’ offense has been struggling overall this season due to offensive line and quarterback issues, so Mooney would certainly want to play somewhere he can showcase his talent properly.

Kansas City is currently 6-2 this season and is one of the best teams in the entire league. However, their receiving room is very slim, and opposing defenses seem to be taking advantage of that. Adding Mooney to the roster would help the offense become more versatile with deep throws down the field and establishing a great play-action attack.

DENVER, Colo. — With five minutes left in Sunday’s win over the Chiefs, Broncos fans were ready to party.

Linebacker Alex Singleton asked for noise from the fans as Kansas City lined up for a 4th & 27 from their own 14-yard line. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes—who’d been sacked six times already, including both of the two previous plays—felt pressure bearing down on him once again and heaved a prayer up the right sideline.

Broncos safety Justin Simmons undercut the ball for an interception. Broncos Country erupted.

With a 21-9 lead and 4:44 on the clock, the game was decided. The Broncos would tack on a field goal and beat the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs for the first time since September of 2015, ending a 16-game losing streak.

Some fans left early, but 25% partied to the final whistle.

They sang and danced to “Jump Around,” “Just a Friend,” “Turn Down for What” and “Party Rock Anthem.”

They screamed when Tremon Smith singlehandedly tied up a kick returner at the 14-yard line.

They booed the 12,281 no-shows, who apparently couldn’t withstand the sub-freezing temperatures. The no-shows probably booed themselves for choosing to witness the end of an era in the Broncos-Chiefs rivalry from their couches instead of the bleachers.

Mile High Stadium rocked as loudly as it has since the losing streak began eight years ago.

As the Chiefs left the field, the stadium played Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” a nod to her relationship with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. A few fans threw snowballs at the Chiefs as they entered their tunnel despite a warning during the game that snow-throwers could face ejection.

“Obviously, it’s the worst I’ve felt walking out of the stadium,” Mahomes said. “It’s a great environment. I actually had a lot of fun playing here. The fans are awesome. They enjoy the game and know the game. They were the better football team today.”

Meanwhile, the Broncos left the field and trekked to their locker room. The lights were turned off. The volume was turned up. The fog machine leaked 100 yards outside the doors of the locker room and down the tunnel. The noise from the celebrations carried farther.

Quarterback Russell Wilson walked in with tackle Garett Bolles and safety Justin Simmons, the two longest-tenured Broncos. They were the final players to arrive and the door was closed behind them.

“It feels great, man,” Bolles told media in the locker room after celebrations wrapped up. “You know, they’re a great team. They have a great culture of winning. I don’t think we have been, what eight years or something like that since we’ve beaten them. The crowd was electric. We got the job done today. And you know, just one game at a time, man.”

David Bowie, Prince and Muhammad Ali were alive. Kobe Bryant was still playing NBA basketball. Nikola Jokic hadn’t debuted yet.

The Golden State Warriors had just won their first title with Steph Curry. Tom Brady still had three more titles to go. Aaron Rodgers had the highest average salary in the NFL, a whopping $22 million per year. Russell Wilson was second.

Mahomes was two games into his first season as Texas Tech’s full-time starter. He’d beaten out Davis Webb, the previous starter, in the offseason. Webb is now the Broncos’ quarterbacks coach.

Mike McGlinchey, who was a junior at Notre Dame the last time the Broncos beat the Chiefs, signed with the Broncos this offseason as their highest-paid free agent. He’d only played one other game against the Chiefs as a Bronco, but he’d heard plenty about the streak.

“It feels so good for the guys that have been here and that have fought tooth and nail to keep this place afloat,” McGlinchey said. “Justin Simmons, Garrett Bolles, Tim Patrick, Courtland Sutton—guys that have been here for such a long time and put their heart and soul into this organization. To come out and beat these guys, the defending world champs and number one team in the AFC. That’s a huge win. That’s a win that’s going to make us believers. It’s a win that can change an organization.”
