Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Chiefs made a late strong push for Boye Mafe, with some involved believing the deal was done before Seattle pulled back.
- No trade compensation was disclosed, and the Seahawks chose to retain Mafe despite his pending free agency and modest 2025 production.
- Mafe, 26, has appeared in eight games with 13 tackles and no sacks, remaining a rotational edge presence in Mike Macdonald’s defense.
- Seattle did make a deadline addition by acquiring wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the Saints while keeping core defensive pieces in place.
- Kansas City pursued multiple targets, including Jets running back Breece Hall, but ended the deadline without additions and may turn to free agency or internal options.
