Insider Reveals Chiefs Trade Deadline Focus Ahead of Huge Bills Matchup
The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching. We’re just a few days out from November 4, at which point no more trades will be allowed until the start of the new league year in March. For contending teams that want to add a final piece or two as they gear up for the stretch run, now is the time.
For the Kansas City Chiefs, they have specific priorities in their approach to the trade deadline. Coming off a Super Bowl loss last season, they addressed many of their flaws through free agency and the draft, boosting weak areas of the roster that were exposed against the Eagles. Though they started the 2025 season 0-2, the Chiefs have won five of their last six and are picking up steam as they enter the heart of their schedule.
Kansas City’s offense struggled a bit early in the season. Rookie first-round LT Josh Simmons took some time to get acclimated, and the Chiefs lost WR Xavier Worthy to a dislocated shoulder early in their first game, a matchup with the Chargers in São Paulo. Plus, top WR Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the season due to his role in a major car accident last year.
Simmons is currently away from the team dealing with a personal matter, but the return of Rice and Worthy has jump-started this offense, and they’re starting to hum. Instead of looking for reinforcements on offense, the Chiefs have a different idea in mind as the trade deadline looms.
Insider Predicts the Kansas City Chiefs will Target the Defensive Line on the Trade Market
The Athletic’s Diana Russini wrote about the Chiefs’ plans in her Saturday report. According to her article breaking down the intel she’s gotten on the trade deadline, Kansas City is “actively searching” for defensive linemen on the trade market. Her language indicts the Chiefs are more than merely “interested” in such a move — it sounds like they’ve been calling teams to inquire about the availability of specific players.
It’s unclear if the Chiefs are targeting help at edge defender, defensive tackle, or maybe both. We’ve already seen one edge rusher traded when the Patriots sent Keion White to the 49ers. Other trade targets on the edge include the Bengals‘ Trey Hendrickson and the Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb, and Matthew Judon. The only interior defender Russini mentioned in her article is the Jets‘ Quinnen Williams, though he would be a very expensive trade target — if New York would be willing to move him at all.
The Kansas City Chiefs Face a Key Test Against the Bills
The Bills and the Chiefs: Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes. The greatest currently rivalry in the AFC. It’s a huge showdown with massive playoff implications for both teams, but given what the Chiefs have coming up after, it looms even larger.
After the Bills game, the Chiefs face the Broncos, Colts, Cowboys, Texans, and Chargers — and they already have three losses on the year. If they want to stay in the hunt for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, they need to win the most of these games. And that starts in Buffalo on Sunday.
Bills Legend Eric Moulds Sells Final Game-Worn Jersey to Support Teammate Battling Parkinson’s Disease
Buffalo, NY – November 1, 2025
In a gesture that’s brought a wave of emotion across
game-worn jersey from his final season to support a former teammate now facing the hardest battle of his life.
For fans who remember the late ’90s and early 2000s, Moulds was the lone constant in an era of instability. Known for his precision routes, contested catches, and quiet leadership, he became the franchise’s beacon of hope through years of quarterback turnover. From 1996 to 2005, he posted
675 receptions, 9,096 yards, and 48 touchdowns, including a historic 100-catch season in 2002, earning three Pro Bowl selections and a permanent place among the Bills’ all-time greats.
That former teammate is Takeo Spikes, the relentless linebacker who commanded Buffalo’s defense with passion and authority. During his time with the team (2003–2005), Spikes recorded over 200 tackles
, earned two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro selection in 2003, and became known as the emotional core of the defense — the “defensive quarterback” who brought fire to every down.
💬 “We carried this team through the storms — him on defense, me on offense,” Moulds said quietly. “Now that he’s fighting something far tougher than any Sunday battle, I want this jersey to fight for him — the same way he fought for Buffalo.”
Spikes, beloved for his intensity and leadership, has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological disorder that has gradually affected his movement and coordination. Despite the diagnosis, those close to him say his trademark energy and optimism haven’t faded — he continues to train, mentor young athletes, and advocate for player health awareness.
Moulds’ decision to sell his final jersey isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about brotherhood. The proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Bills Alumni Health & Wellness Fund
, supporting Spikes’ treatment and ongoing medical research into Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative conditions among retired NFL players.
💬 “This jersey carried our pride, our pain, and our fight,” Moulds reflected.
