NFL Teams Explore Receiver Trades Before Deadline

Kansas City and Pittsburgh are exploring wide-receiver help ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline after injuries depleted their receiving groups. The Chiefs have made preliminary inquiries after a scoreless loss to Seattle, with Jacksonville’s Brian Thomas Jr. and Indianapolis’ Keenan Allen among possible targets; a Tyreek Hill reunion has also been raised. Pittsburgh, 5-2 and on a three-game winning streak, is seeking help amid receiver injuries, with Colts receiver Josh Downs identified as a potential fit if Indianapolis becomes a seller. Titans receiver Calvin Ridley has also been mentioned as a possible Pittsburgh target, and a report says the Steelers intend to make a “semi-big” receiver trade, with lower-cost options potentially more practical. Buffalo’s deadline discussions focus mainly on defense, though adding a receiver has also been suggested.
