Kadarius Toney is battling to make the 53-man roster in 2024

Despite winning back-to-back Super Bowls, the Chiefs still upgraded their offense ahead of the 2024 season. Kansas City signed veteran free agent WR Marquise Brown to a one-year, $7 million deal. Additionally, they used their 2024 first-round pick to draft WR Xavier Worthy out of Texas.

That leaves very few WR spots left on their roster. Kadarius Toney has a chance of being cut from the team this offseason. Is Toney going to make the 53-man roster in 2024?

With how last season ended for Toney, it’s hard to be optimistic about his chances of making the roster. Especially since the Chiefs added WRs to the roster. Marquise Brown is a veteran WR who has proven he can be a difference-maker. The team also has Xavier Worthy who is primed to play the role…
