Both the Bills and Chiefs are expected to seek help for their defensive lines ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. One insider suggests that both teams could make a run at the same player, a former first-round pick who could need a change of scenery.NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport noted on Saturday that defensive line is a priority for the Chiefs, while a pair of major injuries could force the Bills to add depth to their own line.
“[T]he Chiefs are in the market for a defensive tackle … and the Bills could add on the defensive line with Ed Oliver out indefinitely,” Rapoport wrote.“The Chiefs recently brought back Mike Pennel to pair with Chris Jones, but there’s no doubt the team could use more depth behind those two,” Moraitis wrote. “In Buffalo, Oliver isn’t the only injury the Bills are dealing with upfront. T.J. Sanders and DeWayne Carter are on injured reserve and DaQuan Jones is set to miss his second consecutive game with a calf injury.”Smith started 17 games for the Cowboys last season but struggled to make an impact, making 41 total tackles with 1.0 sacks. He has appeared in just five games this season with no starts, making three total tackles.“The Chiefs are inclined to stay put on the offensive side, but they will explore defensive line depth,” Fowler wrote. “They wanted to do so even before rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott went down for the season (torn ACL). On the subtracting front, Kansas City’s cornerback depth could earn interest.”
