My thoughts on the Chiefs moving on from Skyy Moore:
• Moore was one of the first receivers drafted in the “post-Tyreek Hill era,” a 2nd-rounder who never reached expectations.
• After just 43 catches in three years, KC chose depth flexibility over waiting on a turnaround.
• He’ll always be remembered for his Super Bowl LVII touchdown, but the writing was on the wall this preseason.
For the Chiefs, this deal underscores two things:
1. Confidence in the current WR group: even with Rashee Rice’s suspension looming, Andy Reid & Brett Veach clearly believe in their depth.
2. Accountability for draft misses: KC’s been searching for a true WR1 since trading Hill. This move is a reminder that even high draft picks don’t guarantee long-term roles in this offense.
The Moore trade isn’t about what KC gets back (a late pick swap). It’s about closing a chapter and turning fully toward the receivers they do trust in 2025.
