The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0trading for\u00a0Stefon Diggs<\/a>? What year is this?!<\/p>\n

The Chiefs are doing all they can in an attempt to return to the\u00a0Super Bowl<\/a>\u00a0this season while of course hoping to flip the script from the end of last year, when KC\u00a0lost to the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>\u00a0in Super Bowl LIX 40-22 and failed score a point in the first half.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mahomes<\/a>\u00a0is putting in his work. They believed they’ve bolstered the offensive line.\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>\u00a0has lost 25 pounds. And the receivers room seems loaded with a host of guys who can fly … and who can play.<\/p>\n

And yet …<\/p>\n

A website called\u00a0Last Word On Sports<\/a>\u00a0thinks the team could trade for\u00a0New England Patriots<\/a>\u00a0receiver Stefon Diggs. And when you review their reasoning?<\/p>\n

You realize that not even the website itself believes it.<\/p>\n

“The Kansas City Chiefs don\u2019t need another wide receiver this upcoming season, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to continue building the depth,” they write. “Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Marquise Brown will likely be the main contributors to Patrick Mahomes\u2019 offense, but Diggs could complete this package deal to a real fiery unit.<\/p>\n

“If any team can get an athlete back in the right mindset from off-field issues, it\u2019s the Chiefs.”<\/p>\n

So … KC “doesn’t need another wide receiver” … but should trade for the troublesome Diggs, who just signed a three-year, $69 million deal with the Patriots?<\/p>\n

If KC wanted him, why didn’t the club just sign him outright when he was a free agent?<\/p>\n

What the site is ignoring about Diggs – who to his credit has a career of 10,491 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns and who used to be a magnificent if polarizing talent – is this: He’s now a 31-year-old receiver coming off a nasty knee injury who too often “does as he pleases” …<\/p>\n

As New England just found out when he missed a bit of offseason workouts following\u00a0the viral video from Memorial Day weekend<\/a>\u00a0that showed him handing an unidentified pink substance to a group of women on a boat.<\/p>\n

“Obviously I want to be as candid with you guys as possible,” Diggs told reporters after Tuesday’s minicamp practice at Gillette Stadium. “I kind of have a thing where I don\u2019t talk about my personal life with people I don\u2019t know personally. I\u2019m pretty sure everyone here are great people, but I keep my personal life personal.”<\/p>\n

This sort of junk used to be the Vikings’ problem before he forced his way into a trade to Buffalo, and it was the Bills’ headache until last year when he moved to Houston.<\/p>\n

He’s now on his third team in three years. And there are reasons for that.<\/p>\n

In the end, not only do the Chiefs not need a receiver … they don’t need this particular receiver bringing to KC his age, his injury, his attitude, his baggage and his baggie of pink pills.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, though, it’s a heck of an idea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
