Overview

  • San Francisco sent a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Chiefs and received Skyy Moore plus a 2027 seventh-rounder.
  • Three days after the trade, Moore logged three catches for 19 yards on six targets and returned three punts for 16 yards in a 30-23 win over the Chargers.
  • The 49ers targeted Moore for depth at wideout and in the return game as Jacob Cowing faces at least six weeks out with a hamstring and cornerback Jakob Robinson suffered a broken forearm, with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (calf/contract) still working back.
  • Moore called the move a fresh start and said he felt freed up to just play after struggling in Kansas City.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he was happy to get Moore and, separately, backed kicker Jake Moody after a missed extra point, noting they will see how it goes in the regular season.
