Kadarius Toney News: Disappointing Update For Seahawks as Ex-Chiefs WR Looks For Other Options

One man’s misfortune is an opportunity for others! These words perfectly suit the Seattle Seahawks‘ locker room. Being a free agent, Kadarius Toney played for the New York Giants before helping the Chiefs win Super Bowl LVII. But the team released him this year because of his injuries and on-field issues. However, we might see Yung Joka (the player’s rap name)as the WR in some other squad!

After the news of Toney visiting the Seahawks came out, ESPN senior reporter Jeremy Fowler has an interesting take on it. He posted on X, “Kadarius Toney completed his free agency visit with the #Seahawks. His post also mentioned that while the free agent didn’t sign any contract during this trip, the expectation is Toney could take at least one more visit as he makes a final decision.

But this news turns out to be a blessing in disguise for other players. As the wide receiver is about to join the Seahawks, it is a disappointment for some players in the team. Soon after Toney visited the Seahawks, they cut defensive lineman Kyon Barrs and offensive lineman Max Pircher off the practice squad and waved DL Buddha Jones off injured reserve. This might be a sign of making space for Kadarius Toney. But with Yung Joka having some serious issues in the past, is it all worth it?

Could Kadarius Toney’s injury history and the Seahawks’ roster changes cause trouble for the team?

Kadarius Toney was surely a hidden gem for the Kansas City Chiefs, but with his lengthy resume of consistency issues and injuries, he faced major roster cutdowns. His 65-yard punt return against the Eagles, helped the team win the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LVII. But every rose has its thorn! In 2022, after joining the Chiefs, the WR suffered a knee tear during the offseason and missed Weeks 3 to 7 because of a thigh hamstring during practice. Moreover, in July 2023, Yung Joka underwent a Knee Meniscus Trim, hurting himself during a punt return drill in training camp. And the problems didn’t end there! He was in and out of this year’s training camp as well because of ankle issues! What a misfortune, right?

But, with Toney’s visit to the Seahawks, things are on the mend! But as we said, what is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander! The free agent’s good fortune might just be tied to Tyler Lockett’s unfortunate leg injury. The veteran WR is all set for the Seahawk’s regular season opening game on Sunday, but his injury could spoil all his plans!

But, since the Seahawks haven’t made any changes in their active roster, it is yet to be seen how one man’s misfortune turns out to be an opportunity for someone else!
