The most surprising NFL 2024 moves that have Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on alert
The trade window continues to yield big news
The NFL never disappoints and the trade window has brought plenty of signings before the next draft.
All kinds of moves have made for a very different-looking NFL for next season.

The Steelers double
A radical change in Pittsburgh with a double signing at the quarterback position. Two stars in Justin Fields and Russel Wilson land to fight for the starting job after Pickett’s departure to the Eagles.
According to the latest information, Wilson has a slight advantage, although everything will be decided during the offseason, although the decisions made by the Steelers in the draft will also be key.
Craze for the ‘running backs
The Eagles picked up the jewel of the running back market by signing former NY Giants running back Saquon Barkley to complete a brutal offense for Philadelphia after their disappointing finish to the season.
The powerful Ravens of MVP Lamar Jackson also made a move by acquiring former Titans star Derrick Henry, who lands to increase, if possible, the power of a team that will start the season as one of the favorites to reach the Super Bowl.
The aforementioned Titans fill the void left by Henry with the highly-rated Tony Pollard, who leaves Prescott and his Cowboys, while the Packers land former Raiders running back Josh Jacobs.
Diggs Earthquake
The Houston Texans are on a roll in this ‘transfer market’. They have moved fast, well and aggressively.
The result couldn’t be more spectacular as they have put together an absolutely brutal offense. Steffon Diggs, star wide receiver of the Bills, has been the last big move that, along with Joe Mixon, completes an enviable receivers room and running backs room that will give quarterback CJ Stroud endless possibilities.
Meanwhile, Keenan Allen, considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, has left the Los Angeles Chargers to join the Bears. The Chicago Bears also have the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, which will almost certainly go to quarterback Caleb Williams. A very exciting combination for the Bears’ season.
The champion renews its wings and loses a star
Pending the sentencing and punishment of Rashee Rice who caused a traffic accident in Dallas and is still being investigated, the Chiefs have moved quickly to give Mahomes even more options. Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown lands in Kansas City to possibly be the team’s primary WR.
In addition, the exotic note, shall we say, comes in the form of the signing of rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit, who leaves his sport to try his luck in the NFL in the ranks of the champions. The Welshman impressed almost everyone during the Combine with some impressive physical stats.
However, the Chiefs have suffered the loss of one of their defensive linchpins. L’Jarius Sneed has been traded to the Titans for a pair of draft picks in a controversial move by Kansas City. They lose one of the best cornerbacks in the competition, whose fantastic performance was fundamental in getting Mahomes and company to the Super Bowl.
Changes in the defenses
The defenses are not escaping from a frenetic period in the NFL either. The departure of linebacker Danielle Hunter to the Texans, former Niners defensive end Chase Young to the Saints and linebacker Haason Reddick to the Jets are some of the moves that could strengthen some defenses.
