NFL Rumors: 3 monstrous Chris Jones trade packages to sway Chiefs

NFL Rumors: A Texans trade package for Chiefs star Chris Jones

The Houston Texans spent a first-round selection on Will Anderson this past draft cycle, as well as selecting their QB of the future in C.J. Stroud. In terms of a young core, DeMeco Ryans and Co. are building the right way, but is it too soon to take a big swing for someone like Chris Jones? If the Houston front office decides Jones fits their competitive window in a relatively wide-open division, they certainly have the ammo to acquire him.

In similar fashion to the Bears trade package, this deal only includes one first rounder, and it’s the pick acquired from the Browns in the Deshaun Watson swap. Houston doesn’t have a ton of high draft capital in 2024 thanks to their decision to trade up. However, these four picks are solid value for Kansas City, and arguably look better in the long run.

Houston’s second and third rounders in 2025 could still be relatively high given their extensive rebuild. What the Texans can offer Jones right away is that long-term deal he covets, as they have a ton of cap space over the next few seasons. Stroud will be on his rookie deal, as well, so the Texans can add via free agency and trades.
