Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Kansas City made a late, strong push for Boye Mafe, with at least one party believing a deal was done before Seattle pulled back right before the deadline.
- Mafe stays in Seattle for the remainder of the season as a pending free agent after a modest statistical start in 2025.
- The Seahawks made a separate move on deadline day by acquiring wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the Saints.
- The Chiefs left the deadline without any additions and also explored a move for Jets running back Breece Hall, according to multiple reports.
- The near-trade highlights contrasting deadline strategies under the later cutoff, with Seattle also retaining cornerback Riq Woolen.
