Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has responded positively to the news of a potential trade involving teammate Trent McDuffie to the Rams, which could result in a new long-term contract for him. The potential deal would involve the Rams sending one of their first-round picks (No. 29 overall) and additional compensation, including a fifth, a sixth and a 2027 third-rounder, in exchange for McDuffle. The move would reunite McDuffee with Rams' defensive backs coach, Jimmy Lake, who helped him become a star in college. The prospect of this deal could help ease the pain of Mahomes, who had surgery in December to repair ligaments in his left knee.
