2. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the best passing attacks in the NFL and will remain as such as long as Patrick Mahomes is under center. Having said that, it never hurt for him to have someone capable of taking any pass the distance while Tyreek Hill was under contract.

With Hill now playing in Miami, Mahomes is still firing all over the field but the receivers are more of a committee now. There are only two wide receivers with more than 100 yards on the season and JuJu Smith-Schuster leads the way with 19 receptions for 224 yards but has no touchdowns.

The good news for them is that Travis Kelce is still there, giving them a legit No. 1 pass catcher. But that doesn’t mean they can’t use another wideout, especially one with Moore’s talent. Making such a move would be tough given their cap situation but if we’re being honest, the salary cap isn’t real. If it was, the Saints wouldn’t be able to restructure two contracts to go from $100 million in the red to $10 million in free space every offseason.

For Kansas City, they also have a ready-made way to free up money. With Mahomes under contract for nearly another decade, they can restructure his contract over and over whenever needed. It would be worth it as well, since Moore would instantly improve their chances of taking out the Bills again in the playoffs.
