In a surprising turn of events, Kadarius Toney has dropped a bombshell on the Kansas City Chiefs. The WR is accusing them of misleading the public about his injury status. Toney’s explosive statement has sparked comparisons to a similar episode involving Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs not too long ago.
Toney, who has been battling injuries throughout the season, took to social media to voice his frustration, asserting, “B*** a** n*****, I don’t f*** with y’all….. That s*** cap, I’m not hurt.” The wide receiver didn’t mince words, making it clear that he believes the Chiefs are disseminating false information about his health. This is reminiscent of Cheetah’s situation before he moved to the Dolphins.

This isn’t the first time the Chiefs find themselves in a contentious situation with their star wideouts. Tyreek Hill, a pivotal part of the Chiefs’ offensive arsenal, faced similar frustrations midway through the 2021 season. Hill, a six-season veteran in Kansas City, recognized that his time with the Chiefs was running out, despite having secured a Super Bowl victory and becoming one of the NFL’s brightest stars.
Speaking about his departure, Hill revealed to CBS, “There’d be some games where I’d get two targets, I’d get three targets. We’d go into meetings, and my coach would be like, ‘We’ve got to get you involved, we’ve got to get you involved.’” Hill, frustrated with the lack of targets, expressed his concerns to his agent regularly, stating, “So I’m calling my agent, every week after they say some crazy stuff like that, like, ‘Bro, I’ve got to get out of here.’“
Hill’s dissatisfaction with the Chiefs stemmed from not only a lack of targets but also contract negotiations. Despite reaching an agreement on potential annual salary, Hill found the amount of guaranteed money offered by the Chiefs unimpressive. The wide receiver felt undervalued, echoing a sentiment that resonates with Toney’s recent outburst.
