Chiefs trade proposal would add 1,163-yard All-Pro playmaker for Patrick Mahomes

The Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver room is filled with young talent, but lacks proven production outside of Rashee Rice.

As a result, FanSided's Austen Bundy believes the Chiefs should try to trade for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave to help quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

"Olave would shore up a wide receiver room that is topped by Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy by providing a veteran presence and a more stable catch-rate than Hollywood Brown," Bundy said.

Olave quietly had a career year in 2025, snagging 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns, which earned him second-team All-Pro honors.

New Orleans would be foolish to trade Olave after the year he just had, but we've seen crazier things happen, and the Saints could consider moving him if they are presented a package they can't resist.

The Chiefs, who have two first-round picks in April's draft and a ton of future capital, have the firepower to make a move for Olave and add a big-time receiving threat for Mahomes.

Olave would take Kansas City's offense to new heights and give Mahomes the dynamic No. 1 receiver he has lacked since the departure of Tyreek Hill in 2022.

It's still incredibly unlikely that the Saints trade Olave, but there's always a chance, and the Chiefs would be able to put together an incredibly compelling package for the budding superstar playmaker.
