3 Chiefs Making it Easy for Kansas City to Say Goodbye in 2025

2. Skyy Moore - WR

Instead of throwing former second-round pick Skyy Moore out there this season to see if he would sink or swim, we've seen the Kansas City Chiefs just absolutely move on from Moore.

To say this team won't have a difficult time saying goodbye to Moore in 2025 might be an understatement. Moore likely couldn't drum up even a decent trade market, and you can't help but think the Chiefs are only keeping him around based on their draft grade on the guy at this point.

Moore has been active for just six of the Chiefs' 12 games this year and he doesn't have a single reception. He's only played a total of 100 snaps, and 82 of them came on offense. When a young receiver who can't get in the rotation or target share can't contribute on special teams?

You've got a problem.

Moore was a second-round pick in 2022, so there will likely be teams out there that will have interest in bringing him in based on their draft grades back then, but that's likely his best shot of sticking around at this point.

The Chiefs have oddly had a tough time finding receivers who can stick despite the wild success of their offense. Rashee Rice looked like a great pick for them and he'll probably resume WR1 duties at some point, but otherwise, the Chiefs have had to bring in a lot of help from the outside to stabilize this position.

And that's fine for this team's context. With Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, you're not necessarily worried about hit rate in the NFL Draft at receiver so much as making sure you have guys who can make plays. And DeAndre Hopkins is making plays. Noah Gray is having a bit of a breakout year alongside Travis Kelce at tight end.

The Chiefs have plenty going for them in the passing game but Skyy Moore isn't a factor, and I don't think that's going to change in 2025.
