Chiefs among fits in blockbuster deal for Saints $75 million superstar

The 2024 National Football League trade deadline will be here very soon, and the Kansas City Chiefs should be active ahead of it.

Kansas City is 5-0 on the season so far, heading into a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs clearly are among the top contenders to make it back to the Super Bowl once again, but even they could use another playmaker.

The Chiefs lost running back Isiah Pacheco to an injury and recently reunited with Kareem Hunt. He has been great for Kansas City so far, but that doesn't mean that the team shouldn't consider another option ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Because of this, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio floated New Orleans Saints superstar Alvin Kamara as a possible blockbuster trade candidate .

"The biggest name, and the most obvious candidate for a trade, is running back Alvin Kamara," Florio said. "His contract carries a $25 million compensation package for 2025. He’ll be released after the season without a revised deal. If that happens, the Saints will get no compensation. Why not trade him instead?

"Rodney Harrison and I kicked around some potential destinations during Friday’s PFT Live. A case can be made for the Chiefs, (Buffalo Bills), (Cincinnati Bengals), (Denver Broncos), (Dallas Cowboys), (Minnesota Vikings) to be interested. The question is whether a contender is interested in giving up a draft pick or two for a part-season rental, plus playoffs, with Kamara."

Kamara would be a big pickup for the Chiefs. He signed a five-year, $75 million deal with the Saints, but it seems like the two sides could part ways.

Landing him would help out at running back, but also give Patrick Mahomes another fantastic pass-catcher. Florio is right. Kansas City should give the Saints a call.
