Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver and two-time Super Bowl champion Kadarius Toney is staying in the AFC.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Cleveland Browns have signed Kadarius Toney. The 2021 first-round pick was released by the Chiefs on Aug. 27 ahead of the roster cut deadline.

The Browns are coming off a humiliating 33-17 loss at home in their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Quarterback Deshaun Watson completed just 24 of 45 pass attempts for 169 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while taking six sacks in the loss.

So head coach Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry will try to revive Kadarius Toney’s career and see if he can emerge as a playmaker in their offense. Toney was a member of the Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl championship-winning teams in 2022 and 2023.

The team has been eyeing an ideal No. 2 WR to complement Pro Bowler Amari Cooper. They acquired former Denver Bronco Jerry Jeudy in an offseason trade, but he has never cleared 1,000 receiving yards and had a relatively quiet debut (three catches for 25 yards and one touchdown).

 

Kadarius Toney was drafted 20th overall by the New York Giants in 2021, but the team gave up on the Florida product and sent him to the Chiefs ahead of the 2022 trade deadline. Over his first three NFL seasons, Toney has 82 receptions for 760 yards and three touchdowns.

The Browns will try to avoid an 0-2 start when they visit Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Kadarius Toney Gets The Fresh Start He Needs

The Giants and Chiefs were unable to fully unlock Toney’s potential, but perhaps another offensive-minded head coach like Stefanski will make it work.

Toney’s excellent speed and playmaking abilities made him a highly-touted prospect entering the 2021 NFL Draft. We’ll see if the Browns can develop him into a key contributor in their offense.

Latest Photo Of Jason Kelce’s Shocking Body Transformation Confirms He Won’t Be Coming Out Of Retirement Anytime Soon

Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce all but confirmed that he’ll never come out of retirement after revealing a remarkable offseason body transformation.

Though he was still at the top of his game last year, Jason Kelce decided to hang up the cleats on his illustrious career that will lead to a spot in the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Because Kelce was playing at a high level in his age-36 season, many fans can’t help but wonder if he’d come out of retirement and return to the Eagles — especially if they’re in Super Bowl contention.

But during an interview with the Associated Press, Jason Kelce made it clear that a comeback is not happening. Kelce cited that the Eagles won’t be calling him back after his drastic offseason weight loss:

“They’re not going to call me to come back and play center at 260 pounds, and I’m moving on to the next thing and I’m excited to watch Cam (Jurgens). I really think Cam is going to be tremendous this year. He’s going to really show people how great of a player he is.

He was good for us last year at right guard and he’s going to flourish at center. And for me personally, my days of playing are just done and I do not foresee any scenario taking place other than maybe medicine inventing a way to get rid of arthritis that I would ever entertain coming back at all anymore.”
