As reported by Sports Illustrated, Toney was among the last players cut as the Chiefs finalized their roster to 53. Originally a first-round draft pick for the New York Giants in 2021, he was traded to Kansas City in 2022. <\/p>\n<p>According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter, while Toney is being waived by the Chiefs, he is expected to attract interest from other teams. His journey as a talented playmaker is far from over.<\/p>\n<p>During Super Bowl LVII&#8217;s fourth quarter, Toney became a key player for the Chiefs with a touchdown catch and a crucial punt return that set up another score. However, his performance took a downturn in 2023 when he suffered an injury during training camp and struggled throughout the season. He dropped four passes in their opening game loss and had an interception bounce off his hands.<\/p>\n<p>Later in another game against Buffalo, he lined up offside which nullified a touchdown for Kansas City. In a critical moment against New England, after being instructed by quarterback Patrick Mahomes to secure possession of the ball, Toney let another pass slip through his fingers leading to an interception that frustrated Mahomes visibly.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being sidelined during Kansas City&#8217;s successful run towards their second Super Bowl victory and disputing reports about his injuries on social media\u2014claiming he wasn&#8217;t hurt\u2014Toney&#8217;s situation did not improve as attempts were made to trade him without success.<\/p>\n<p>If no team claims him now that he&#8217;s released, he&#8217;ll still receive his $2.53 million salary from Kansas City.
