Chiefs release Kadarius Toney before 2024 regular season
The Kansas City Chiefs spent much of the offseason working on bolstering their playmaker corps, as they brought in Marquise Brown through free agency, and used their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on speedster Xavier Worthy. That left some of the holdovers, such as Kadarius Toney, in a precarious spot with rosters being trimmed to 53 players.
Toney’s time with the Chiefs has been rocky, but there’s no doubt that when he’s engaged, he has the potential to be one of the game’s most explosive playmakers. Unfortunately, he won’t be making plays for the Chiefs anymore, as the team shockingly opted to release him as part of their roster cuts.

Toney showed flashes of his talent during his time with the Chiefs, such as in Super Bowl 57, when he had a huge 65-yard punt return, and one of Kansas City’s five touchdowns in the game. However, he was a healthy scratch for the Chiefs all throughout the postseason last year, and he spent time during training camp this year playing at running back in an effort to help him find a way onto the team’s roster.
The Chiefs just didn’t end up having room to keep everyone around. Brown, Worthy, and Rashee Rice project to be the team’s top three wideouts, with Mecole Hardman serving in a gadget type role, and JuJu Smith-Schuster reuniting with the team in free agency on Monday. With all those guys in place, Toney ended up being the odd man out.
