This page lists all the 2023 Trades for the Kansas City Chiefs. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

Chiefs acquire WR Mecole Hardman from Jets for swap of 2025 sixth- and seventh-round draft picks
Here’s the latest swap of sixth- and seventh-round picks, with the Chiefs acquiring Mecole Hardman along with the seventh in exchange for a sixth. Hardman will return to the team that drafted him after nearly half a season with the Jets.
Hardman signed a 1-year deal with the Jets, but barely played; he was on the field for 28 snaps. The Jets wanted to use both Xavier Gipson and Randall Cobb over him. I get Gipson, but utilizing Cobb was a huge mistake. Perhaps the coaches could have tried inserting Hardman into games over Cobb.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, haven’t had the usual success they’ve experienced with their gimmick plays, so perhaps that’s why they wanted to bring Hardman back to the team. The price is small, so I’m in favor of it.
Grade for Chiefs – B+
Grade for Jets – C
