(610 Sports) -- According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs have made a trade with the Minnesota Vikings for cornerback Mike Hughes. The Chiefs will reportedly send their 2022 sixth-round pick to Minnesota for Hughes and the Vikings' 2022 seventh-round pick.
Hughes, the 30th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of the University of Central Florida, appeared in just 24 games with seven starts, recording two interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries in 3 seasons with the Vikings.
Hughes tore his ACL after six games during his rookie season and his season ended in Week 17 of 2019 due to a cracked vertebra. Hughes only played four games in 2020 before a neck injury landed him on injured reserve. The Chiefs are taking a chance on an injury-riddled player who is clearly talented and offers high upside, for minimal draft compensation.
