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.

Kansas City Chiefs Receiver Struggles
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.
Darnell Mooney Impact
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.
