Last year, QB Desmond Ridder shot a commercial for DoorDash. But it is trending now. Puzzled! Let us explain. Arizona Cardinals have released the quarterback. And fans are mocking his ad, saying, he can now work full-time in DoorDash. He joined the team this summer but during the preseason; the QB struggled with 20 of 35 passes for 225 yards. Hence, he has been ousted. But each team is cutting players. And one more NFL player has become the subject of these jokes. It’s Kadarius Toney.

Back-to-back Super Bowl winners, the Kansas City Chiefs, recently brought wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster from the New England Patriots. And they have released WR Toney. Fans are laughing, with some suggesting “he can join Ridder doordashing“. But it didn’t come out of the blue. Fans anticipated the cut, as he gave no confidence during the practice camp. For the Super Bowl winner, this is the end of a dream run.

Toney was the hero of their Super Bowl LVII win. He made a touchdown in the 4th quarter. His 65-yard punt set up the play in which the Chiefs secured the win. But last season didn’t go according to the expectations. His form wasn’t good. Though he played 13 games last season, he started only 2. In those 13 games, the receiver only had 27 receptions in 169 receiving yards. The Chiefs, however, want champions in their locker room. Juju Smith-Schuster’s move is an example of that!

Both wide receivers played alongside each other in Super Bowl LVII. While Toney remained at the franchise, the other WR was traded to the Pats. He signed a 3-year deal but is coming back to his old team after failing to find a rhythm with the offense. The Chiefs quickly added the receiver once they heard the Pats were releasing him. The locker room is excited!

The roster cuts will bring many surprises. Expect more such jokes as teams trim down their squads. For now, let’s review the Chiefs’ offense.

Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver situation after Kadarius Toney ouster

Back-to-back Super Bowl winners are strengthening their receiver department. The singular focus is on ensuring ample support for their QB. However, their key WRs are facing different issues. Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown suffered a collarbone injury during the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Doubts still loom large over his availability for the first game.

Another premier WR, Rashee Rice, is struggling with legal issues. While there are rumors of suspension, nothing concrete has been revealed about his future. According to the NFL’s latest statement about Rice, no action will be taken until the legal procedures are complete. There is a high chance of Justin Watson stepping in and starting games for the team.

With the ouster of Kadarius Toney, Chiefs have made their intentions public. They want the 3-peat. 7 teams have tried for the glory, but none has achieved it. Can they do it? Chiefdom believes in them.
