The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL and may have an opportunity to improve the unit even more in the offseason after they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
On Monday, news broke that Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett had formally requested a trade, which may open the door for Chiefs general manager to explore a move to acquire the league’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
Garrett is widely considered to be among the best pass-rushers in the NFL and has earned First-team All-Pro honors four times since he entered the league in 2017.

His presence could make Kansas City’s front four a nearly indomitable force, given that Garrett would potentially be lined up alongside the likes of Chris Jones, George Karlaftis, Charles Omenihu, and Mike Danna, who are all dynamic linemen in their own right.
Though it is far too early to tell if the Veach and the Chiefs will be in the market for a defensive lineman in the offseason, Garrett’s availability adds a layer of intrigue to the speculation about Kansas City’s future ahead of its showdown against the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
