The Kansas City Chiefs would be looking at the deadline for NFL trade - November 1 - very closely. With less than a week left to go, analysts and football fans have already started spreading rumors about the noteworthy trade options.
Trading players in mid-season can be a game-changing event for any team. NFL teams have kept a close watch on each player's performance and now, there is an opportunity for them to upgrade their roster.
Last season, the Los Angeles Rams traded QB Von Miller from the Denver Broncos during this time of the season. Miller started in all eight games he played for the Rams and helped them win the Super Bowl LVI.

One team that should be looking for trade options this season is the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs are the top contenders this season and have a win-loss record of 5-2. Yet, they are missing the spot left by their former WR Tyreek Hill and would like to upgrade their offense. The Chiefs will also look to upgrade their defensive options before the NFL trade deadline.
Let's look at three players the Kansas City Chiefs could trade before the 2022 NFL trade deadline passes.
Odell Beckham Jr.
Rumors surround Odell Beckham Jr. as he is the only reliable free agent left that can fill the void Tyreek Hill left after signing a deal with the Miami Dolphins. Beckham Jr. is currently a free agent and is not associated with any team right now.
He is recovering from a torn ACL sustained in the last Super Bowl where he played for the Rams. While it is unclear whether OBJ has fully recovered, he stands as the best option for the team's offense.
Kansas City Chiefs' TE Travis Kelce restructured his contract earlier this month and is hoping OBJ comes to play on their side.
Brian Burns
There are also reports confirming that the Kansas City Chiefs contacted Carolina Panthers and are interested in their defensive end Brian Burns. Not only the Chiefs, but the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles also want Burns with them.
The Panthers DE has been outstanding this season as he has already made five sacks in the seven games he has played for the team. Brians is playing his fourth season with the Panthers.
The 24-year-old has so far made 30.5 sacks in his entire career. This is the most number of sacks made by any player since 2019.
Robert Quinn
Robert Quinn is another defensive end player that the Kansas City Chiefs would like to trade. Quinn is playing his 12th season in the NFL. He is currently an active member of the Chicago Bears and has started in all seven games this season.
He started last season in 16 games and had 18.5 sacks. He has been a promising player in previous seasons, making him one of the best options in the trade market for the Kansas City Chiefs.
