The Kansas City Chiefs, reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions, are gearing up for the 2024 NFL season, set to kick off on September 5 against the Baltimore Ravens in a highly anticipated AFC Championship Game rematch.
With a talented roster from top to bottom, the Chiefs have a legitimate shot at making history by becoming the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. However, the road to glory is paved with tough decisions, and one of those difficult choices has led to the release of wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
As all 32 NFL teams are forced to trim their rosters to 53 players ahead of the season opener, many notable players find themselves searching for new opportunities. This year’s roster cuts have been no exception, and the Chiefs’ decision to part ways with Toney has sent shockwaves throughout the league.
According to NFL Network, the Chiefs have waived Toney, a move that has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.

Here’s a sampling of the reactions to Toney’s release:
LIONS BROKE HIM
(@optifyy_) Surprised he lasted this long
This was NO surprise
Bro looks 43
pils (@BonanzaPils) Toney, a former first-round pick, was acquired by the Chiefs in a trade with the New York Giants during the 2022 season. At the time, it seemed like a savvy move, with many believing Toney could reach his full potential alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, despite playing in 20 regular-season games for the Chiefs, Toney failed to make a significant impact and now finds himself facing an uncertain future in the NFL.
