The Chiefs are targeting the Miami Dolphins’ leading rusher, who recorded 875 yards on 146 carries, instead of De’Von Achane, amid their struggling offensive performance.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — October 9, 2025

As the Kansas City Chiefs lick their wounds from a 28-31 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5, the team’s struggling ground game demands a swift fix. With the trade deadline looming on November 10, 2025, Chiefs fans are buzzing about a potential move, and the focus should be on Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright over the pricier De’Von Achane. Here’s why Wright is the smarter, more affordable target.

The Chiefs’ rushing attack ranks a dismal 22nd with just 105.3 yards per game, a glaring weakness exposed by Isiah Pacheco’s 4.0 yards per carry and lack of touchdowns, compounded by Kareem Hunt’s 3.2 yards per carry. Patrick Mahomes leading the team in rushing is a red flag Andy Reid can’t ignore. A cost-effective addition is crucial, and Wright fits the bill.

Drafted in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft from Tennessee, Wright still has three years left on his rookie deal, a bargain compared to Achane’s rising value. Bleacher Report suggests the Chiefs could land Wright for a late-round draft pick, a steal given his potential to back up Pacheco, who’s yet to regain form post-injury. Achane, a third-round pick in 2023, commands a higher price tag, likely a mid-round pick, due to his explosive 2024 stats (600 yards, 5 TDs).

Wright’s 2024 output (68 yards, 0 TDs in 3 games) may not dazzle, but his youth (22 years old) and contract length make him a low-risk investment. Unlike Achane, whose contract nears renegotiation, Wright offers stability without breaking the bank. Rookie Brashard Smith shows promise, but Hunt is fading, making Wright a practical choice to bolster the backfield.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach should act fast. Wright’s affordability and upside could reignite the offense, keeping Kansas City in Super Bowl contention. Fans on X agree, with #WrightToKC trending: “Get Wright—cheap and effective!” Stay tuned to Chiefs.com for updates!

Mac Jones Breaks Silence Amid Vikings Trade Rumors – But the 49ers Front Office’s Ice-Cold Response Leaves the Entire Niners Nation Speechless
San Francisco, California. Today The Bay Area is hotter than ever as multiple reports claim the Minnesota Vikings have reached out about a possible Mac Jones trade. The quarterback’s future has suddenly become one of the NFL’s biggest talking points, especially with his inexpensive contract making him an attractive asset on the market. While the 49ers prepare for a massive offseason full of decisions, the Mac Jones story has completely taken over both media and fan attention. In the middle of the wildfire rumors, Mac Jones chose to speak first. After practice, he made it clear he wants to stay with the 49ers – the organization that pulled him out of the darkest period of his career after everything collapsed in New England. For Jones, San Francisco is far more than a workplace; it’s the place that restored his confidence and reignited his love for football. That made his words carry more emotion than any official statement ever could. When asked directly about his future, Jones poured his heart out in a quote that silenced the entire Niners Nation: “The 49ers pulled me out of the darkest days of my career, when it felt like the whole world had turned its back on me. Here I found my belief again, found myself again, and felt the love for football again. So I will always stand right here – fighting for this team, for my teammates, for the fans who opened their arms to me.” Yet the 49ers front office’s response is what truly made everyone stop and think. The team acknowledged Jones’s spirit, respected his professionalism and dedication, but firmly stated that any decisions about his future will only be made after the season ends. That single line made it clear his long-term spot on the roster is still far from guaranteed – a detail that left many fans silent for several seconds. As the season enters its most crucial stretch, Mac Jones’s future has become one of the 49ers’ biggest storylines. Will he stay to solidify the depth chart, or will he get the chance to be a QB1 somewhere else? Whatever happens, the love Jones has shown for San Francisco has already touched the heart of Niners Nation. He has made it crystal clear his heart belongs here – now the final call belongs to the 49ers.
