When wide receiver Kadarius Toney did not play a big role for the Kansas City Chiefs down the stretch last season following a few big mistakes in crucial moments throughout the year, many expected that the team would part ways with Toney during the offseason. But it sure doesn’t sound like that will be the plan.
During a recent press conference, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach made it clear that the team has never given up on Kadarius Toney and called him “probably our most talented wideout.”
“I know Kadarius has obviously had a long history of injury issues but he is probably our most talented wideout,” Veach said on Friday. “Again, it doesn’t do anyone any good unless you stay healthy, but the kid has always worked hard here for us and I know he’s been down there with Pat and I think it’s just a matter of him staying healthy. If he can do that, he can really do a lot of great things in this offense.
“That’s one of the things — there’s a lot of speculation about KT, but I don’t think we ever stopped believing in him. I think people around the building like him. It’s the injury bug, hopefully he gets some luck on his side and can stay healthy and can be the player that he was in Florida and the player that we’ve seen in spurts here. [I’m] just hoping he has a good offseason and has a little luck on his side and can stay healthy.”
It sounds like the Chiefs intend to keep him on the roster.
