It’s the last chance for the Kansas City Chiefs to make a more significant addition than a free-agent signing, although the Cheetah — former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill — is still available and reportedly will be ready to return to play in November.

Trade rumors have been swirling around Chiefs Kingdom for a while, but it’s now or never for general manager Brett Veach if the team believes it needs an addition to have a shot at returning to the Super Bowl.

He floated the question if Kansas City would make a move for one of Thomas or Josh Downs. * Rapoport also mentioned a fourth-round pick being the potential price for Downs. * On Monday, NFL Insider Adam Schefter on “The Pat McAfee Show” shared that “the Colts have an offer of at least a [fourth-round pick] for [Josh Downs] right now; I don’t know why they wouldn’t move him at this point in time.“ * During the second

quarter of Sunday’s game, CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson shared that she spoke with Chiefs general manager Brett Veach before the game.
