Chiefs Nearing Deal With 7-Time Pro Bowl Veteran to Boost Super Bowl Hopes

The Chiefs are ramping up their roster rebuild after signing Gardner Minshew, aiming to contend in 2025, sources told ESPN. A blockbuster trade for a star cornerback could reshape their defense.

Following Patrick Mahomes’ leadership in a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX loss, Kansas City’s front office is active. Reports indicate the Chiefs have engaged the Miami Dolphins about acquiring seven-time Pro Bowler Jalen Ramsey.

An X post by @ChiefsOutsider sparked buzz, claiming Kansas City is pursuing Ramsey to bolster their secondary. This move signals GM Brett Veach’s all-in approach to chase a Super Bowl LX title.

Jalen Ramsey, a three-time All-Pro, shone in 2024 with Miami, recording five interceptions and a 79.3 PFF grade. His versatility—slot, outside, and box snaps—fits Steve Spagnuolo’s dynamic scheme.

Ramsey’s $72.3 million contract poses cap challenges, but Kansas City’s $12.78 million space could absorb it via a fourth-round pick trade, per sources. His durability, missing just three games since 2020, adds appeal.

The Chiefs’ secondary, led by Trent McDuffie, struggled without Justin Reid. Ramsey could complement McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, strengthening coverage against elite receivers like A.J. Brown.

Kansas City’s recent Jaire Alexander talks fell through, but Ramsey’s fit excites fans. On X, @ChiefsFanatic tweeted, “Ramsey with McDuffie? Unstoppable!” while @KCFan4Life added, “Veach is cooking!”

 
As minicamp unfolds, Ramsey’s potential arrival fuels Chiefs Kingdom’s hopes. Will this trade cement their contender status? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates on Kansas City’s bold moves.
