4. Kadarius Toney, WR

Sticking with the WR group, Kadarius Toney is another pass-catcher whose job is in jeopardy with training camp right around the corner.

If Toney kept his head straight and stayed healthy, he could easily be one of the better wide receivers in the NFL. He boasts a terrific combination of speed and size, however, it's his off-field antics and frequent trips to the injured reserve that have become his worst enemies.

The Chiefs acquired Toney in 2022 with the hope that he could form a dynamic duo with Mahomes, but that hasn't been the case. The former Florida playmaker has only made 41 receptions for 340 yards and three touchdowns in 20 games across the last two seasons. For comparison, made the same number of catches for 420 receiving yards in his 12 games with the New York Giants.

The fact that Toney had better production with Daniel Jones over Mahomes is enough for Chiefs fans to be ready to move on from the former.

With no signs of improvement, Toney could be cut if he doesn't take some major leaps in training camp. As mentioned on the last slide, the Chiefs have plenty of wideouts this offseason who are hungry for a bigger role.

If the ex-2021 first-round selection isn't ready to step up, his only other option is to step aside.
