6 Chiefs Playing Their Way Out of Kansas City's 2025 Plans

Even though the Kansas City Chiefs are 7-0 to begin the season, not everyone is playing perfectly. Here are six players who might not return for the 2025 campaign.

5. Skyy Moore, WR

Skyy Moore played to mixed results in his first two seasons with the Chiefs. Suiting up in 30 games during that stretch, the former 2022 second-round selection turned 43 receptions into 494 receiving yards and a touchdown.

After showing glimpses of potential here and there, Kansas City fans hoped to see him elevate his performance this fall — especially as the WR-related injuries kept piling up.

If you haven't noticed Moore on the gridiron this season, you aren't alone. The ex-Western Michigan playmaker has only been targeted three times so far and failed to catch any of those chances. He carries a 39.6 passer rating when targeted with a 33.3% drop rate while averaging 13.7 offensive snaps per outing.

Moore even went from returning 14 punts last season to zero this time around. Although he's returned a pair of kicks in his last two outings, it's hard to say if he can carve out a role as an efficient special teamer based on that small sample size.

Moore is currently sidelined with a core injury, leaving time to tell how he performs upon his eventual return. If he can't prove why the Chiefs drafted him in the second round in the first place, it'll be tough to feel good about his outlook in Kansas City.
