The Kansas City Chiefs are looking more and more like their old selves, having won three straight games and five of their last six to improve to 5-3 on the season. Perhaps all they really needed to do was get healthy. But there is no question that the Chiefs could still stand to make some upgrades, especially when it comes to the running back position.

The Chiefs could look to swing a deal for a halfback before the NFL trade deadline, and Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon thinks that’s exactly what they will do, predicting Kansas City to acquire Breece Hall from the New York Jets. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – OCTOBER 27: Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs looks downfield in the fourth quarter during the NFL 2025 game between Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on October 27, 2025 in Kansas City, United States. “Hall is a pending free agent and the Jets probably have bigger fish to fry this offseason, while the Chiefs are not getting as much as they’d probably like out of their offensive backfield,” Gagnon wrote. The only unrealistic part of the prognostication is that Gagnon has New York landing a “late-round pick” from Kansas City in the trade, and based on how well Hall has been playing in 2025, that seems somewhat unfeasible. Most are expecting the Jets to bag a Day 2 pick in return for Hall if they do end up moving him, so the Chiefs will likely have to part with at least a third-round draft choice if they want to pry the Iowa State product away from the Big Apple.

Most recently, he racked up 133 rushing yards while reaching the end zone twice in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old has never tallied 1,000 yards on the ground since entering the league as a second-round pick back in 2022, coming close with 994 yards in 2023. However, he stands a great chance of achieving the feat this year. For more on the Kansas City Chiefs and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
