Chiefs Trade Rumors: Pitts to KC?

0:00It's April 22nd. I'm Cory with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and bill-for-football fans. 16s roll into Thursday night's first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, with two picks each, including the Kansas City Chiefs at 9th, on 29th overall. But not all my walk away with both selections intact. One hot idea floating around is the Chiefs packaging that 29th pick to snag Atlanta Falcons tight-end Kyle Pitts as a successor to Travis. Kelsey. At 36, Kelsey just inked his 14th season, but 2026 could be his last hurrah. Fans and analysts see Pitts linking up perfectly with Patrick Mahomes, giving the Chiefs an edge that feels almost stacked. Pitts wrapped last year with 928 yards and five scores, proving he's still elite at just 25. Meanwhile, Pitts is grinding on the franchise tag with Atlanta, who lack a first-rounder and don't pick until 48th overall. They might bite on a straight swap for a proven first-round asset. This trade buzz has everyone watching how the Chiefs play their hand tonight, potentially reshaping their future lineup in one bold move.
