The Chiefs have agreed to trade guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to the Jets, according to sources who spoke with NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo (Twitter link). In exchange, the Jets will send tight end Daniel Brown to Kansas City. 
It appears that Duvernay-Tardif personally signed off on the trade, since he’s one of ~10 NFL players to have a no-trade clause. The Chiefs received — and rebuffed — calls on LDT throughout the summer, but they’ve took Gang Green up on their pre-deadline offer.
LDT was a full-time starter for the Chiefs from 2015-19, but opted out of the 2020 campaign in order to treat COVID-19 patients. The licensed medical professional has yet to play this year, due to a broken bone in his hand.
This is just the latest move in the Chiefs’ offensive line revamp. After the Bucs clobbered KC’s front five in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs swung a blockbuster deal for tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and used a second-round choice to take center Creed Humphrey. LDT was set to be a part of that lineup, but his hand injury pushed sixth-round pick Trey Smith into a first-string role instead. Although he hasn’t played since the ’19 season, LDT offers serious experience with 60 games, including 57 starts.
Brown, 29, first entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of James Madison. After stints with the Ravens and Bears, he joined up with the Jets in 2019. He’s appeared in just six games for the Jets, with the bulk of that action coming in ’19. Known more for his blocking, Brown has just 44 catches for 420 yards and two touchdowns across six-and-a-half seasons.
Might as well just retire and just be a full time doctor instead of playing for the Jets of all places.
Must be nice to say dumb crap. Hope you’re not a Texan fan.
I’m not sure how you can say this is a dumb comment. It’s a very real possibility that he could want to be a full time doctor rather than play for the Jets…
Speaking from experience there Mets/Jets fan?
Jets are completely dysfunctional, and have been for a long while. The only worst franchise is the Mets who nobody wants to be interviewed for their job openings.
Texans had their issues under Bill O Brien. Still churned out winning seasons. They let him go and are rebuilding. Jets have wasted 2 picks on “franchise” Qbs, 3 if you want to get technical – Sanchez, Darnold, Wilson. Sanchez should still be in the league as a “franchise” qb being drafted in 2009
The great who wrote davinci code
It’s ‘taken’ not ‘took’
“Took” is the simple past tense, whereas “taken” is the past participle. This means that you can say took on its own.
I’ll take that.
He took that. Confirmed. I’ll taketh the next.
If that were case though, he shouldn’t use ‘they’d’ or ‘they had’.
Using simple past, you would just write ‘they took’.
Fool of a Took!
I do think that it’s interesting that KC’s line got destroyed by Tampa, and they’ve responded by getting rid of a bunch of players who didn’t even play that game.
is this how we are going to treat health care workers going forward. send them to the Jets?
Facts. Id sooner get the anal equivalent of COVID rather than play for the Jets.
Kabutoryder…you would rather take a virus in the ass then make millions of dollars playing a sport?? You got problems
That ‘revamped’ O-line still sucks. Mahomes runs for his life every game.
Sorry man, I would take being a COVID doctor in Canada of all places rather than playing for the Jets
Honestly if I was Pittsburgh I would have been in on this. Could swing over to RT or have Dotson slice to tackle end have stability on that line. It’s improving, but still not great
They should have been, I agree. This was kind of sudden, however, at least seemingly so. They may be kicking themselves that he was available.
Why would you sign off on a trade to the Jets??
