Chiefs' Trade Proposal Pairs Patrick Mahomes with a Two-Headed RB Monster in Surprise NFL Blockbuster

Kansas City, MO – April 17, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs are gunning to supercharge their Super Bowl chase, eyeing a jaw-dropping trade to pair Patrick Mahomes with a two-headed running back monster, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. With their ground game sputtering in a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles, the Chiefs are ready to shake the AFC with a blockbuster move.

While Isiah Pacheco has been a gritty RB1, injuries and a thin backfield—Kareem Hunt’s a stopgap, Elijah Mitchell’s a backup—have Chiefs insider Matt Conner from FanSided proposing a trade for New York Jets’ dynamo Breece Hall, who racked up 1,359 yards from scrimmage in 16 games in 2024 (NFL.com).

“Hall to Chiefs? Backfield’s about to pop!”

“A tandem of Pacheco and Hall would give Mahomes two explosive rushers who dominate on the ground and through the air,” Conner writes. “Their versatility would keep defenses guessing—run, pass, or both, it’s a nightmare either way.”

Conner points out that while the Chiefs could draft a rookie RB in 2025, Hall’s proven spark—876 rushing yards, 483 receiving yards, 8 TDs—makes him a now-and-future star. Jets coach Aaron Glenn’s recent comments about spreading touches to other backs hint Hall, 23, could be on the block, especially with his contract nearing its end in 2025 (Spotrac).

“Mahomes with Hall? Good luck, AFC!”

“The Chiefs could swing this with a 2025 third-round pick (No. 95),” Conner suggests. “Hall’s elite production at a low trade cost is a no-brainer for Brett Veach to jump on.”

Younger than Pacheco (26 in 2025), Hall could anchor KC’s backfield for years. Extending his deal would lock in a cornerstone, blending his 4.8 yards per carry with Pacheco’s bruising style.

“Pacheco-Hall duo? Chiefs offense is SCARY!”

This dynamic duo would ease Mahomes’ load, especially with Rashee Rice’s suspension looming and a shaky O-line. Hall’s 50-yard dashes and pass-catching flair—think his 76-yard TD grab in 2024—fit Reid’s playbook like a glove, potentially outpacing AFC rivals like the Bills.

With $11.7 million in cap space and eight draft picks, Veach has the ammo to pull it off. Chiefs Kingdom’s buzzing—this surprise trade could be the spark to ignite Mahomes’ next Super Bowl run.
