Slow times around here, thought this would spur some discussion.

Saw that too. At least he's working :shrug:

Hopefully he doesn't drag race down there

He should've been Rice's fall guy.

Chiefs know Rice is doing time

He's on a cheap rookie deal with guaranteed money. I don't know why anyone thought they would actually cut him?

Atoneyment - I smelled it leaving my keys

Yep

You forgot to use the sarcasm font.

Grey shorts guy kind of looks like Rashee.

Does he drive a Lambo or Corvette?

Yep, he's not getting cut. If he can catch the damn ball, he'd help the team.

Man if he would even just return to 2022 form he'd be a weapon.

I dunno man. It's one thing to struggle but he flat out gave zero shits and then threw everyone else under the bus for it. Why would you want to keep that around? I guess you can relegate him as a gadget or return guy but all hes gonna do is bitch about his role.

If he's there the team and the QB haven't given up on him.

Hope the ****er is practicing lining up onsides..

Pretty sure that's what they're counting on. They've realized he can't carry the weight of being a key contributor, but he can make an impact in a limited role as we've seen. Just get him back to that.

We only have so much money to go around, some of these guys from last year are simply going to have to step up and play better.

Maybe he just doesn't have the mentals to be "the guy". Maybe when he's good he's just got to be playing care free.

Not this shit again

He needs to stay healthy and actually make it through camp.

Exactly, when he came here in 2022 he was flying by the seat of his pants. Don't expect him to be an X or Y, just get the ball in his hands a few times a game.

Good sign. If he's motivated still wouldn't rule him out as a contributor. I'm sure he sees the opportunity with the Rice situation.

I still have hope for him and am rooting for him next season, so....glad to see him putting in work.

Maybe with hard work and determination, he will only cause one loss next season, instead of two like last season.

He's going to get opportunities whether Rice plays every game or no games. Toney is talented and still on a 1st round rookie contract.

Honestly, I'm rooting for a redemption arch from Toney now.

Kids got athletic talent, shows sparks of brilliance, but he's just immature. Hell, so was I at that age. Still am! He was thrust into a situation where he was being touted as the new #1 WR for the best team in football after an abysmal start to his pro career and clearly wasn't ready. I think Andy made that comment to give him confidence, but ultimately made him self conscious.

PFF only has him marked down as responsible for 4 drops all last season, but I know he had 4 in the DET game and received PFF's worst single game WR score since 2018, so there were definitely more. His season grade was a 62%, which isn't all that bad considering the NFL fanship's current impression of him. Hollywood Brown, our new #1 WR, only had a 67% grade last season himeself. Anyways, I'd be surprised if his drop % was above 10%. We've seen plenty of college guys with near the same drop %, notably Troy Franklin this year, that are still considered highly desirable and picked in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft.

There's a popular NFL parody instagram that never gives this guy a break. Literally, near daily content trolling him, which is actually pretty funny but a bit overdone at this point.

#K-ToneyComeback

They obviously think he's salvageable. Punt returner, gadget guy? Who knows? But, their actions say they are going to give him another chance.

Is he practicing how to properly drop a pass so it's not an INT?

I mean fine by me if we're just looking to stash him as a boom/bust guy. But he's gotta do a looootttt to earn back trust. He's fine now when all is good but he's been another level of bad at dealing with the slightest hint of adversity. We're not talking about a guy making some mistakes. His attitude during those mistakes was another level of awful

Y’all really thought he wasn’t gonna be here this season?

ROFL

Can you blame us? :shrug:

The short bus can’t break 50mph.

You have a point, the overreactions here are impeccable.

Are you sure? Have you tried?

Good for him I guess. Sad we are celebrating guys that make millions putting in work in the offseason though...

Just to be clear... The reason people are skeptical is that people acted like he was a good guy in a bad situation in New York because he was on good behavior for a few months. Only to repeat the same behavior that got him traded out of NY in the first place. Real cardinal sins like accusing the team of lying.

So yeah, put the work in young man. Give it a shot. But the leash needs to be very short. As dynamic as he can be it means nothing if you can't trust him on the field. And that's considering we're already doing him a huge solid even though we can never rely on him to stay on the field. We also gave mecole that second shot and although he made a key super bowl winning grab and it was only after he did his damnedest to fart away two of our playoff games.

Heres a question. What would be a Toney redemption season? 600 yards? More? Less?

We have won two Superbowls since acquiring him, so maybe......

How about we stop with negative plays first.

A season in which he doesn't cause any losses by simply being on the field.

new kickoff rules should help him possibly make the final 53.

Something like that. 600-800 yds, 5-7 TDs; 35+’1st downs at a bare-ass minimum.


Time to put up or get on down the road. He’s either a football player or he’s a rapper pretending to be a football player.

That's what I kind of think. 600 yards without stupid asss mistakes and maybe some good KR/PR work.

Suits Toney. Fast, but made for hauling the "special" kids.

Man it's funny but all the bad memories of last season you have to think...but we won it all.

So don't feel as bad about them. They mean nothing now, like dust in the wind.

I'm still bizarrely hopeful, if only because I refuse to believe the athleticism and talent isn't worth something...potentially. He HAS shown he can be valuable. Man i would love to see it all click

I'd love to see him work out too, but I'm afraid he's a charter member of Michael Bishop's "Ten Cent Head Foundation".

Yep. The talent/physical ability is all there. That was so evident that Veach was prepared to trade up for this guy before NYG beat him to it.

It's literally just his immaturity that's the problem. He has to grow up and take his responsibilities to his teammates and his career seriously, every damned day. And it's "now or never" time, as he's entering his 5th year in the league.

4 years in the NFL, and he has yet to eclipse 1,000 yards/4 TDs in his entire career.

Time to man up. Or get the **** out.

Guy played a big role in winning a SB and everybody acts like he cost them one.

So did mecole hardman in the first one. And Frank Clark. I appreciate the **** out of him and have no I'll will towards him. That doesn't mean we have to want to keep him around. I'm ok with it cost wise but I'm not gonna just shrug off shitty attitude that so far has been a pattern more than it is just a one off issue

No he sucked ass then too. Come to think of it he's always sucked ass. And balls too

It was some wishful thinking, thats for damn sure.

Hey that’s the rugby players job

No shit! He could be the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice but if you spend all your time in the tub or riding a bike on the side lines you're of no value to the team. I hope some one has finally pounded that thought into his brain.

Yeah that's the issue. If his role is returner and gadget guy and let's be real... You can't trust him in a bigger role, it means you have to keep a backup returner and gadget guy on your roster. Because he doesn't go on IR, he takes up roster space when he gets hurt. And he doesn't always finish games.

Not to mention the bad effect of a "locker room cancer" on the team

I’m not getting my hopes up for this guy , maybe Reid sat him down in office and gave him a real talk about what he expects from him or his NFL career will be short lived. Also maybe the birth of his kid opens his eyes and he brings more maturity and accountability.

It changed my life.

Why did the birth of KT's kid change your life?

Maybe because he shit talked the team when he was a healthy scratch then claimed he was hacked.

He’s going to want his contract after this season. I feel like he takes a big leap this season.

You don’t do what he did against Alabama without talent. And it was reported by his teammates that he was football smart.

So what’s the issue?

I’m assuming he’s just lazy.

Unless we change WR coaches to someone like a Desean Jackson who could play with his head I’m not expecting anything.

Yung Joka.

Nuff said.

Maybe he is lazy but his biggest issue by far is health. Dude can't stay healthy, don't know if that is due to him being lazy or unlucky.

Also maybe all the pressure he received in NY and last year when he was talked about being the #1 guy affected him.. I don't know but the only pressure he should feel this season is making the team at this point.

Skyy Less in this photo… LMAO

Hope he doesn't own a Vette.

Skyy has a Chevette.

He looks like the kid that will be picked last.

Look at the look on Patrick's face. He's not picking him.

Has there been any word if there are draft prospects practicing with them?

No free fart

Except for his injury issues, all of his other problems have a fundamental common denominator: lack of accountability. And he’s not the only person on the team who has had that problem.

I hope he figured it out now, and he man’s up.


But I’m not holding my breath either.

the only hope with Toney is last year was a real wake up call and he's going to put in the preparation to get better. He's got elite route running ability, such a waste.

Skyy must have actually tried some of Womble's "Chlorine Free." Singed kangaroo paw and curry hot pockets. Peehue

Does anyone recognize all these dudes? I only know about 1/2 of them.

Chris Oladokun
Skyy Less
Anthony Miller
Nikko Remigio
Louis Rees-Zammit
Noah Gray

And of course Mahomes and his trainer.

LRZ makes the cut!
