One of the goals of the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2024 NFL offseason was to upgrade their weapons offensively. The team didn’t get much out of their wide receiver group despite winning the Super Bowl for the second consecutive season.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach certainly did not disappoint when it came to adding weapons. In free agency, the team signed Marquise Brown and in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, they selected Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
With the emergence of Rashee Rice as a rookie in 2023, the wide receiver room is beginning to get a bit crowded. The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t sellers by any means, but if they can deal from a surplus to add draft capital, they would strongly consider it.
One of the players who could be on the trade block, in the opinion of Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report, is wide receiver Skyy Moore. Moore, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Western Michigan, has not panned out.
In two seasons with the Chiefs, Moore has played 30 games, catching 43 passes for 494 yards and one touchdown. He has added six rushes for 47 yards. His 2023 campaign ended on injured reserve because of a knee injury.
“Skyy has always been a mentally tough kid,” Veach said. “He had that knee injury last year, too. So, to some degree, it is just these guys being on the field and staying healthy, and then making plays when their number is called.”
That certainly sounds like someone trying to upsell a player who is no longer in the team’s long-term plans. Only heading into Year 3 of his professional career, Moore is in a similar boat to fellow wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
Neither have shown any consistency when it comes to producing at the professional level. If the Kansas City Chiefs can get anything in exchange for them, even a late-round pick or a pick swap, they would likely jump at that opportunity.
Alas, if you cannot produce catching passes from Patrick Mahomes, your outlook in the NFL isn’t a very bright one. Expect Moore to operate as depth for Kansas City if he isn’t traded during the summer.
