NFL fans lose their minds as Chiefs trade for Patriots' Josh Uche: "How much help does Mahomes need?"

The Kansas City Chiefs acquired pass rusher Josh Uche from the New England Patriots via trade on Monday. This comes less than a week after the Chiefs acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.

NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport was first on the news this morning and shared it on X.

"The #Patriots are trading pass-rusher Josh Uche to the #Chiefs, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. Coming off a win, KC lands a a new player on the edge."

Of course, the majority of football fans were furious upon hearing the news. Many fans questioned why teams keep trading players to the Chiefs after they're still undefeated.

Fans think teams, especially AFC teams, should not be doing any more business with the Chiefs.

"How much help does Mahomes need?" a fan asked.

"STOP TRADING PLAYERS TO THE CHIEFS!" one fan wrote.

"Why is any team in the NFL trading with the Chiefs??? Lmao," one fan wrote.

"League is just feeding them talent," a fan wrote.

While most fans are questioning why other teams are still making trades with the Chiefs, Chiefs fans are, of course, happy about the trade.

Chiefs fans think that the Chiefs' ownership made a great move and think their defense improved even more upon acquiring Uche.

"This is what significant ownership does. They’re unbeaten, and they want to get better," a fan said.

"Big move for KC! Uche will add serious depth to that defense. Excited to see how he impacts their pass rush!" a fan wrote.

"The Chiefs know their secondary is a bit questionable on the back end, so they bring in an edge rusher to boost the pass rush in hopes of helping the secondary," a fan said.

Uche was a healthy scratch yesterday, which makes sense, given that he was traded less than a day later.
