Giants Trade Guard Joshua Ezeudu to Chiefs for 2028 Seventh-Round Pick

A marginal roster player becomes draft value as Kansas City adds short-term offensive-line depth.

Overview

  • The Giants traded guard Joshua Ezeudu to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2028 seventh-round pick, a move reported Tuesday by NFL insiders.
  • Ezeudu is a 26-year-old former third-round pick who played in 33 career games for New York and spent the 2025 season on injured reserve after a severe calf strain.
  • New York signed Ezeudu to a one-year, $1.3 million deal in March, but he was not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster during preseason evaluations.
  • The transaction reflects the Giants’ approach of converting surplus offensive-line depth into late-round draft compensation rather than releasing borderline players.
  • For the Chiefs, the low-cost move provides immediate depth on the interior line and gives Ezeudu a chance to compete for a roster spot as the regular season approaches.
