The Kansas City Chiefs have made a big splash before the NFL trade deadline.
The Chiefs acquired second-year receiver Kadarius Toney from the New York Giants for a 2023 conditional third-round pick and sixth-round pick, The Star confirmed Thursday. The move was first reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Toney presents both short-term and long-term potential for the Chiefs at receiver after being selected by the Giants with the 20th pick in the 2021 draft. The Chiefs will pay the rest of his salary this season — his remaining base salary is $784,000 — and also have him under contract in 2023 at $1.9 million and in 2024 at $2.5 million. Toney potentially becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2026, as KC will hold a fifth-year option for him as a first-round pick.
