The Los Angeles Chargers, despite much buzz surrounding their obvious need for a running back and a starting-caliber offensive lineman, ultimately settled for Trevor Penning at the trade deadline: a lineman who will now enter the competition for the starting tackle position in the absence of Joe Alt.
Yet, many fans pushed for the team to make a move for a running back such as Breece Hall of the New York Jets, and, although Hall ultimately stayed put, it has now been revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs were dangerously close to pulling the deal off themselves.
