Kansas City Chiefs received

  • Kadarius Toney

New York Giants received

  • 2023 6th round pick (209th overall, Tre Hawkins)

Kansas City acquired Kadarius Toney from the Giants for a 2023 compensatory third and sixth-round pick. Toney never became a dependable regular-season receiver, but his touchdown and Super Bowl-record 65-yard punt return were pivotal in the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVII victory. New York used the third-round asset to acquire Darren Waller and drafted Tre Hawkins with the sixth. Waller lasted one Giants season. The championship impact shifts the trade toward Kansas City.

Kansas City Chiefs received

  • Joshua Ezeudu

New York Giants received

  • 2028 seventh-round pick

Kansas City acquired offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu from the New York Giants on August 26, 2026 for a 2028 seventh-round pick. Ezeudu brings 33 games and 10 starts of NFL experience at guard, tackle and as an extra lineman, giving the Chiefs inexpensive versatility for a distant late-round selection. Kansas City gets the stronger current grade because the acquisition cost is minimal and the player can help immediately, while New York still deserves credit for converting a roster-bubble lineman into future draft capital.
