Kansas City is adding a bit more depth up front to protect Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs have reportedly traded for New York Giants guard Joshua Ezeudu.

According to Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs will get Ezeudu from the Giants for a 2028 seventh-round pick, with Kansas City looking to beef up its interior offensive line.

There’s a catch, though. Ezeudu didn’t play a single snap last season after hurting his calf and leg back in August. So this is more of a ‘let’s see what we’ve got’ move than a sure thing. Edeuzu brings versatility to the Chiefs, having played at guard and tackle. Against the Miami Dolphins last weekend, he played 58 snaps in Francis Mauigoa’s place.

The 26-year-old was New York’s third-round pick back in 2022, and he’d just finished his rookie contract before hitting free agency for the first time. The Giants had brought him back earlier this spring, but figured it was better to trade him away for a late-round pick.

This is a developing story.
