Chiefs Rival Pushed to Sign WR Kadarius Toney & ‘Prove KC Wrong’

With the initial wave of cuts having taken place around the NFL, the free agent pool has been replenished with veteran talent like former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney.

On August 29, USA Today Sports writer Cory Woodroof identified 15 potential free agent “matches” around the league, and he pushed the AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders to give Toney a look.

“The Raiders should keep Toney in the division and give him a chance to prove Kansas City wrong,” Woodroof argued. “He remains an effective returner on special teams and could factor into the Las Vegas offense as a unique gadget player.”

“Toney might not be a monster in the passing game, but there is a role for him somewhere in the NFL,” he went on. “The Raiders feel like an ideal landing spot, as the team needs some added depth at the wide receiver position and another option in the return game.”

Behind superstar Davante Adams, the Raiders WR corps includes veteran Jakobi Meyers as well as younger prospects like Tre Tucker, Ramel Keyton and Tyreik McAllister. Toney would provide more experience as a potential top three or four option for Las Vegas — assuming he’s finally able to harness his potential.
