NFL rumors: Insider predicts Kansas City Chiefs will acquire four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver to help Patrick Mahomes

Despite making their third straight Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs need to desperately upgrade their offense ahead of the 2025 season.

The Chiefs finished 17th in average yards per game (327.6), 17th in points per game (22.6), and 14th in passing yards per game (222.4). The Chiefs didn’t have any 1,000-yard receivers, with the closest being tight end Travis Kelce at 823. Xavier Worthy had the most receiving yards among wide receivers at 638. And including the playoffs, the Chiefs only scored at least 30 points three times.

On top of improving the offensive line after Patrick Mahomes was sacked 36 times — the most in his career — the Chiefs need to find a legit playmaker.

That’s why one NFL insider predicts the Chiefs will sign a four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver to help Mahomes.

ESPN’s Aaron Schatz believes the Chiefs will sign wide receiver Stefon Diggs to give Mahomes and the offense a playmaker they badly need.

Coming over from the Buffalo Bills, Diggs ended up playing just eight games for the Houston Texans in 2024 after suffering a torn ACL. However, before that, he had six straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

“With a number of free agent wide receivers ready to depart, the Chiefs need a veteran who can play on the outside opposite Xavier Worthy after Rashee Rice returns to the slot. Diggs should be recovered for the start of the 2025 season after suffering a torn ACL in Week 8. He had a positive DVOA for the Texans before his injury and was on pace for another 1,000-yard season,” Schatz wrote.

Five wide receivers are free agents — DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, and Mecole Hardman — so the Chiefs will need to remake their receiving corps. Adding Diggs would make a good start.

Over 10 seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Bills, and Texans, Diggs has 857 receptions for 10,491 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns. He was named All-Pro in 2020.
