The Chiefs and Giants are having stellar seasons in the AFC and NFC, respectively, and both might just have helped themselves significantly with an interesting deal before the 2022 NFL trade deadline.
As an already emotional/heartbreaking trade deadline week wound down to Halloween weekend on Thursday, The Score’s Jordan Schultz reported that the Chiefs would trade a 2023 third-round pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick for the Giants’ former underachieving 2021 first-round receiver Kadarius Toney (note: that third-round pick isn’t conditional).
It’s a fascinating and, frankly, a surprising move that might shake up the AFC race this year for Kansas City and help the Giants in the long-term in the NFC over the next few seasons. From the draft capital ramifications to the football, let’s break down the key details and notes about this move that could mutually elevate the Chiefs and Giants.
