Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to do the unthinkable during the upcoming 2024 NFL season. They’re looking to win a third straight Super Bowl.
While that goal is not going to be easy to accomplish, the Chiefs did get better during the NFL offseason.
Kansas City was able to sign Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to add a dynamic layer to the offense. They also brought in Xavier Worthy in the 2024 NFL Draft to do the same.
Defensively, the Chiefs were able to retain star defensive lineman Chris Jones. They did have to trade L’Jarius Sneed away, but they feel confident that the defense should be an elite unit once again this year.

Kansas City Chiefs Urged To Land Dynamic RB In Bold Trade Scenario
ClutchPoints took a look at a couple of players the Chiefs should consider trading for before the regular season. One of those players was Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert.
“Herbert is a good player who can keep Pacheco fresh or fill in for him if he ever misses time. He certainly has more juice on the ground than Edwards-Helaire or McKinnon do. With a logjam in Chicago’s backfield, he could be available for a late-round pick or swap. Kansas City could and should afford that to bolster their depth at the running back spot.”
Herbert would be an excellent depth addition for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has dynamic speed and playmaking ability. In addition to his running skills, he could be a weapon as a receiver out of the backfield for Mahomes.
During the 2023 season with the Bears, Herbert ended up carrying the football 132 times for 611 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers average out to a good 4.6 yards per carry. He also caught 20 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown.
If the Chiefs were to pull off a trade for Herbert, he would battle for the backup running back job. More than likely, he would have a good chance to win that job.
The Kansas City Chiefs have made it clear this offseason that they want offensive weapons. Herbert is the definition of an offensive weapon.
Being able to acquire that kind of playmaking ability for a late-round pick would have to be of interest.
