9 Teams Submit Trade Offers for Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun — Market Heating Up Fast

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chris Oladokun delivered one of the most impressive preseason performances in recent memory, showcasing poise, precision, and command well beyond his experience level. While preseason stats rarely translate into instant stardom, his showing has sparked genuine interest around the league.

According to multiple league sources, at least nine NFL teams have inquired about Oladokun’s availability as the preseason winds down. With quarterback depth always at a premium, the former South Dakota State standout has quickly become a name circulating among front offices.

Miami Dolphins
With questions surrounding Tua Tagovailoa’s long-term durability, the Dolphins see Oladokun as a viable insurance policy. Pairing him with Jaylen Waddle in a high-speed offense could be a late-season spark if Miami struggles early.

New York Jets
If the Justin Fields experiment falters, Oladokun’s skill set may be a cleaner fit in offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand’s system. His ability to work efficiently in structured passing schemes mirrors the kind of on-schedule operation coaches want down the stretch.

Cleveland Browns
Depth has been a talking point in Cleveland, and adding Oladokun would be a forward-looking move. Evaluators believe he has more upside than several quarterbacks currently on the Browns’ roster.

Baltimore Ravens
In a system that prizes efficiency, Oladokun’s decision-making and touch could offer a safer backup option behind Lamar Jackson, especially given the team’s high expectations heading into 2025.

Indianapolis Colts
With Anthony Richardson still developing and depth questions behind him, Indianapolis sees Oladokun as a player who could compete for a primary backup role and step in if necessary.

Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence’s recent injury history has put the Jaguars on alert. Oladokun could provide stability as a capable No. 2, ready to step into a playoff-caliber offense without disrupting the team’s rhythm.

Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud is the franchise centerpiece, but given the physical toll he could face behind Houston’s line, the Texans have explored bolstering the quarterback room with Oladokun’s dependable pocket presence.

New Orleans Saints
With the quarterback position unsettled, the Saints could give Oladokun a legitimate chance to start, especially if the offense stalls under current options.

Arizona Cardinals
If the Kyler Murray situation shifts after 2025, Oladokun could be part of a bridge plan — competing in camp while a rookie first-rounder develops in the system.

While no trade is imminent, league insiders expect the conversation around Chris Oladokun to intensify in the coming weeks. For quarterback-needy teams, the 6-foot-2 Chief may be one preseason star worth pursuing before the regular season kicks off.

Chiefs Elevate WR Hidden Gem to Active Roster After Raiders Offer to Steal Him
Kansas City, MO – 2025 The Las Vegas Raiders’ hunt for immediate wide receiver help nearly landed them a young pass-catcher from inside the division. But the Kansas City Chiefs weren’t about to let him get away.     According to multiple reports, the Raiders moved to sign Jimmy Holiday off Kansas City’s practice squad, which—under NFL rules—would have placed him directly on Las Vegas’ 53-man roster if he accepted. Instead, the Chiefs acted decisively on Tuesday, elevating Holiday to their own active roster. The promotion protects the 23-year-old for at least three weeks and gives him a full roster spot as Kansas City hits the heart of its schedule.     Holiday’s path to Arrowhead hasn’t been linear. The undrafted rookie out of Louisiana Tech flashed in August as a gunner on special teams and a chain-mover in late-preseason reps. He didn’t survive final cuts on Aug. 27, then cleared waivers and chose to remain with the Chiefs’ practice squad two days later—betting on the coaching staff and the opportunity to grow behind a top-heavy receiver room. He’s worn No. 82 in Kansas City.         With the Raiders circling, the Chiefs made the call to keep their hidden gem in-house. For Holiday, it’s a chance to prove he belongs on Sundays—likely starting on teams and in select offensive packages. For Kansas City, it’s about protecting an asset and denying an AFC West rival a plug-and-play depth piece at a moment of need. The current WR depth chart features Hollywood Brown, Jason Brownlee, Tyquan Thornton, and Xavier Worthy, with Holiday now competing for snaps behind them. If Holiday converts his special-teams value into early offensive contributions, the Chiefs may have uncovered another developmental wideout who can help now while growing into a larger role down the line.
