Ex-Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz took to Twitter on November 9 to propose a massive deal that would send a king’s ransom to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson at the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
Schwartz’s creative trade package included “at least” two first-round picks and a third-round selection, which would hamstring Kansas City’s flexibility in the NFL draft for the foreseeable future.
While it is unclear exactly how serious Schwartz was about this hypothetical scenario, the Chiefs are rumored to be among the teams exploring options at the wide receiver position ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 10.
Jefferson isn't expected to be among the wide receivers who will be available on the trade market tomorrow, but Schwartz's comment comes as rumors are circulating that Kansas City's front office wants to add a veteran pass-catcher at some point before the 3 p.m. CT deadline.
