In this edition of NFL rumors, the Chiefs are on the hunt for another wide receiver, Rob Gronkowski lingers, and the Lions are taking calls.
It’s the Wednesday edition of NFL rumors on Full Press Coverage and the Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly still in the market for a top-tier wide receiver after trading Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.
The NFL free agency frenzy has died down as has the robust trade market after what felt like a nonstop flurry of league-altering moves. We saw several veteran quarterbacks change teams via trade as did a couple of All-Pro receivers. In some form or fashion, the Chiefs have been connected to some of the biggest moves of the offseason whether through actions of their own or moves from their AFC West rivals. Based on what’s circulating the rumor mill, it doesn’t seem like it is over.
Here are today’s NFL rumors from around the league.

by Full Press Coverage on January 30, 2023 at 11:26 pm
The Kansas City Chiefs have already added JuJu Smith-Schuster and former Packer Marques Valdes-Scantling in an attempt to replace All-Pro Tyreek Hill but it doesn’t seem they are quite satisfied and who would be? Hill was one of the most dangerous players in the league and replacing him is going to take the collective effort of the entire Chiefs offense. JuJu and MVS are nice players but not game-altering ones like Hill. The Chiefs seem to realize this and could bypass taking a young receiver and going the veteran route. D.K. Metcalf, Davante Parker, and Brandin Cooks are among the elite veteran receivers that are/could be available.
ESPN’s @diannaESPN reported on SportsCenter this morning that the #Chiefs are actively making phone calls to try and trade for another top wide receiver. #ChiefsKingdom

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – TE Rob Gronkowski
Rumor: The Buccaneers and tight end Rob Gronkowski don’t have a contract written yet if he were to decide to return. Several teams are interested as well, per JoeBucsFan.com.
Rob Gronkowski’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said last week that the tight end was still unsure if he will play in 2022. As the article states, if he does play there are several other teams that could be interested in Gronkowski’s services, however, it seems unlikely that he will play anywhere other than where Tom Brady is playing quarterback. During Brady’s brief retirement, it was reasonable to believe that Gronkowski may decide to spend his final season or two with Joe Burrow and the Bengals or with his hometown team, the Buffalo Bills. The chance of either of those things happening seemed to disappear the moment Brady announced his return. Despite a deal not being ready, don’t be surprised when he does announce his return to the Buccaneers.
Detroit Lions – Number 2 Up For Grabs?
Rumor: The Detroit Lions have fielded calls for the second overall pick and although nothing serious is in the works, discussions have begun, per Lions GM Brad Holmes.
The Detroit Lions are sitting nicely with the second overall pick. Now, they don’t have a pressing need at quarterback with Jared Goff under center but it wouldn’t be surprising to seem them look to upgrade the position. Is that upgrade in the draft? If the Lions believe he is, then the pick will be going nowhere. However, this quarterback class is no sure thing and the Lions may see this as an opportunity for quantity over quality.
