Chiefs writer urges team to trade for 2,565-yard receiver to help Patrick Mahomes

The Kansas City Chiefs are doing whatever it takes to get back to the Super Bowl after last season's heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, losing 40-22 in Super Bowl LIV.

Kansas City went out this offseason, resigning wide receiver Marquise Brown and drafting Utah State's Jalen Royals.

The Chiefs are trying to ensure that quarterback Patrick Mahomes has enough help this upcoming season, and Michael Canelo from Kansas City Chiefs On SI thinks the team should try to trade for New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave.

"One trade the Chiefs can explore is with the New Orleans Saints for receiver Chris Olave," Canelo wrote. "Olave has been one of the best receivers in the league since entering it from Ohio State. Olave has been the No. 1 receiver and target for the Saints over the last few seasons. And with the recent news that the Saints receiver, they can be looking to start all over and get rid of top players."

Olave has spent three seasons with the NFL, recording 2,565 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 39 games.

The 24-year-old receiver only appeared in eight games last season due to two concussions.

If the Chiefs were to trade for Olave, it would give the young wide receiver a new, fresh start in a place where he could use his elite route-running skills to get open for one of the best quarterbacks in the sport.
