Perfect NFL Landing Spots for Notable Names Ahead of the Trade Deadline
Chiefs could add a deep threat
Jennings’ size, speed and big-play ability could give Patrick Mahomes a downfield option. The Chiefs have struggled to push the ball downfield, and defenses exposed that weakness in consecutive weeks.
According to Stick to the Model, Kansas City might acquire Jennings for a seventh-round pick. His threat as a playmaker could also create room for the running game and other receivers. The article suggests the move could help the Chiefs pursue another Super Bowl appearance.
Johnson could aid San Francisco
Johnson is described as a possible fit for defensive coordinator Raheem Morris’ scheme, despite being less prominent than Josh Sweat or Khalil Mack. A late Day 3 pick could be enough for San Francisco to pursue him.
The 49ers need help while Nick Bosa is injured and are seeking a large player for their pass-rush rotation. Johnson has the tools to contribute as an edge-rusher, and Morris may be able to develop him.
