The Kansas City Chiefs don’t have many weaknesses throughout their team. That was made obvious over the last two seasons when they won the Super Bowl back-to-back. However, that doesn’t mean every player on their roster is well liked.
In fact, one player was just released that had fans celebrating all over social media.
The Kansas City Chiefs Release Significant Player (To The Fans Anyway)

According to ESPN:
The Kansas City Chiefs are waiving wide receiver Kadarius Toney, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The Chiefs in May declined the fifth-year option on Toney’s contract he signed with the New York Giants as a first-round draft pick in 2021. Kansas City acquired Toney from the Giants in 2022.
With the Chiefs counting on him for big production, Toney had a disappointing 2023 season. He tore a meniscus fielding kicks at the start of the first practice of training camp, leading him to miss the remainder of camp.
He had surgery and returned for the season opener, but his deflection of a catchable pass to a defender who returned it for a touchdown was a key play in a one-point loss to the Detroit Lions.
Injuries continued for Toney the rest of the season. The Chiefs listed him on their weekly injury report for 19 of their 21 games, counting the postseason.
Toney played in 13 games but had just 27 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown.
Toney’s other notable plays during the season were costly to the Chiefs. He appeared to score the winning touchdown after taking a lateral from Travis Kelce late in a Week 14 game against the Buffalo Bills, but the play was wiped out when Toney was penalized for being offside and the Chiefs wound up losing the game.
When Chiefs fans saw Toney was released, they took to social media immediately:
