The Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints are currently examining potential trade scenarios to move into the top 10 of the NFL Draft, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The report was shared during the NFL Draft Kickoff broadcast, identifying both franchises as active seekers of a higher draft position.
According to the report, the Chiefs and Saints are evaluating the logistics of moving up the board, though no official trade has been finalized at this time. A move into the top 10 would place either organization in a position to select from the premier prospects in this year's draft class.
In a separate update from the same NFL Network broadcast, George Pickens is officially signing his tag. By signing the tender, Pickens secures his contract status for the upcoming season. This development comes as teams across the league finalize their rosters and salary cap situations ahead of the draft's opening night.
The report did not specify which teams the Chiefs or Saints have contacted regarding a potential trade. More information is expected to surface as front offices continue negotiations leading up to the start of the draft.
