The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired cornerback Mike Hughes in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings, a source tells ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Chiefs and Vikings agreed to swap late-round draft picks in the deal, the source said.
Hughes was drafted by the Vikings in the first round (30th overall) of the 2018 NFL draft. The Vikings declined to exercise the fifth-year contract in Hughes’ rookie contract, meaning he will be a free agent after this season.
He was limited to just four games last season because of a neck injury that resulted on him being placed on injured reserve in October.
He has appeared in 24 games in his three seasons, making seven starts. He has two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown in his rookie season, 13 passes defended and 80 tackles.
