Chiefs Decline Kadarius Toney's Fifth-Year Option

Kansas City Chiefs opt not to extend WR Kadarius Toney's contract beyond 2024, signaling potential shift in team's receiving lineup.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially declined the fifth-year option on wide receiver Kadarius Toney's contract, making the 2024 season his last under the current agreement.
Toney's performance has been marred by injuries and inconsistent play, notably missing significant time during the 2023 season.
The Chiefs have bolstered their receiving corps by signing Marquise Brown and drafting Xavier Worthy, indicating a strategic move to refresh their wide receiver options.
General Manager Brett Veach expressed hope for Toney's recovery and future contributions, despite the decision not to extend his contract.
Toney's future with the Chiefs remains uncertain as he enters what could be his final season with the team amidst increased competition.
