Fulton’s lone Chargers season was his most productive: 51 total tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cfigure class=\"my-6\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fxxdpdyhzhpamafnrdkyq.supabase.co\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Fcovers\u002Finline-1780484573019-6fno.png\" alt=\"$10M Chiefs-Chargers Fulton trade idea surfaces\" class=\"rounded-xl w-full\" loading=\"lazy\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003Cp>His first year in Kansas City was much quieter. Fulton dealt with lingering injuries, missed roughly half the season and, at times, was healthy scratch material. The Chiefs are also deep into a cap squeeze, which makes a post-June 1 trade more attractive than carrying his full cost into the season.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Fulton is the highest-paid corner on Kansas City’s roster.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The Chiefs could redirect savings toward wide receiver or edge rusher.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>The Chargers have an unsettled cornerback room and know Fulton’s fit.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Intra-division trades are uncommon, but not unheard of.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cp>The case for Los Angeles is simple: Fulton already proved he can function in its system, and the Chargers need low-cost competition at corner. For Kansas City, a deal would turn a player with uncertain 2026 role into usable cap space.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Why it matters\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>The Chiefs are trying to protect a young core while filling out the roster around it. If Fulton is moved, the team would be betting that rookies Mansoor Delane and Nohl Williams can hold up, because the depth chart behind them is thin and includes little proven NFL production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cfigure class=\"my-6\">\u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fxxdpdyhzhpamafnrdkyq.supabase.co\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Fcovers\u002Finline-1780484574942-qn2o.png\" alt=\"$10M Chiefs-Chargers Fulton trade idea surfaces\" class=\"rounded-xl w-full\" loading=\"lazy\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003Cp>That is the real pressure point here. Kansas City can keep Fulton as veteran insurance, but it may prefer the cap room if the rookie corners develop fast enough. If they do not, the Chiefs could be exposing a secondary that already has little margin for error.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fulton’s late-season play also complicates the decision. Once healthy, he finished 2025 with six passes defensed and 13 tackles over the final three weeks, which suggests there is still starter-level value if he stays on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The question for Kansas City is not whether Fulton can help a team. It is whether he helps the Chiefs more on the field, or as a trade chip that funds a bigger need elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>","A proposed post-June 1 trade could save the Chiefs about $10 million and
