The Cleveland Browns signed former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney on Saturday ahead of their Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Toney, who won back-to-back title with the Chiefs in 2022 and 2023, was an inconsistent contributor to Kansas City’s offense and was cut by the defending Super Bowl champions after training camp on August 27.

An injury to Charles Omenihu revealed the Kansas City Chiefs’ lack of depth at defensive end. The team needs to bring in several potential contributors along the line to help boost the defense’s production, especially considering the offense’s recent struggles.

According to Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy, Jones’s verified height and weigh ..read more
