\"AA cubist interpretation of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense, with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the center of a dynamic, fragmented play.Kansas City Today<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense struggled at times last season due to injuries and inconsistent play. With the signing of Kenneth Walker to bolster the run game, some analysts believe the Chiefs should also target an elite wide receiver to pair with Patrick Mahomes. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport has named Stefon Diggs as a player the Chiefs should pursue, citing Diggs’ productive 2025 season with the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

Adding a top-tier wide receiver like Diggs could take the Chiefs’ offense to new heights and provide Mahomes with another dynamic playmaker. However, Diggs’ potential price tag and the Patriots’ decision to move on from him raise questions about whether such a move would make financial sense for Kansas City.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

In his 2025 season with the Patriots, Diggs recorded 102 targets, 85 receptions, 1,013 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Davenport believes Diggs could be a “game-changing” addition to the Chiefs’ receiving corps, which currently includes Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs will need to weigh the potential benefits of adding Diggs against the cost of acquiring him, as well as how he would fit into their existing receiving corps.<\/p>\n

The takeaway<\/p>\n

However, the team will need to carefully consider the financial and roster implications of such a transaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Got story updates?
