The Kansas City Chiefs just lost two straight games and now face a team that is already in full rebuild mode. New York has dropped its last three contests and sits at a poor 2-6 record. Last year the Jets traded their stars and probably seek more draft picks this offseason. This matchup on Sunday, Nov. 8, offers a rare look at potential targets before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Arrowhead Addict says the Jets might trade with Kansas City after Sunday’s game.
The Chiefs lost 28-24 to Denver on Sunday, Nov. 1. They need to get back on track while scouting the opposition. The Jets are not just playing for pride; they are not looking to sell. They traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams away. Now they might move more talent for picks.
Is Garrett Wilson Worth the Cost?
Garrett Wilson, a star wide receiver, tops the Jets’ list heading into the deadline. He recorded 1,000-yard seasons across his initial three years. Wilson got extended by the Jets in 2025, yet Sauce Gardner still went to the Colts. Wilson is under contract until 2030. The Chiefs’ acquisition of Wilson depends on the price. Should the Jets demand beyond a first-round pick, Kansas City should likely avoid it.
Young Targets and Risky Veterans
Adonai Mitchell showed great talent yet lacks NFL consistency. The Sauce Gardner trade sent him to the Jets. Mitchell might move again if the Jets secure proper value. Drops have always been Mitchell’s issue. Brett Veach may like his size and athleticism as the Chiefs seek an outside threat. Then there is Chukwuma Okorafor. Kansas City’s front office could want a veteran like Okorafor given their major need at offensive tackle. Off-field behavior plagues Okorafor, who faced “drama” at each prior stop. Kansas City likely stays away since offensive tackle uncertainty already exists.
Defensive Help for the Right Price
Recent big investments at defensive end could be followed by more help for the Chiefs if priced right. Kingsley Enagbare, a favorite in the 2022 draft, has been a reliable defensive end. He has played for the Packers and the Jets. If the price is right, adding a reliable end makes sense. The Jets are all but out of the playoff picture. The game on Sunday, Nov. 8, at Arrowhead Stadium is just the start of this decision process.
