Chiefs Trade for Giants OL Josh Ezeudu

The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired offensive lineman Josh Ezeudu from the New York Giants in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round draft pick, a move that bolsters Kansas City's depth ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The trade was completed on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, just days before teams must trim their rosters to 53 players. Ezeudu, 26, was a third-round selection by the Giants in the 2022 NFL Draft out of North Carolina. His tenure in New York was marked by versatility and injury setbacks. After appearing in 10 games as a rookie, he started five games at left tackle in 2023 before a toe injury ended his season.
