On Wednesday, August 20, the Kansas City Chiefs traded veteran wide receiver Skyy Moore to the San Francisco 49ers.
Moore, who was the Chiefs’ second-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, was a member of Kansas City’s Super Bowl LVII and LVIII rosters, but struggled to earn a consistent role in the team’s offense.
In three regular-season campaigns with the Chiefs, Moore recorded 43 receptions for 494 yards and one receiving touchdown. As a rusher, Moore tallied six carries for 47 yards. He scored a touchdown in Kansas City’s victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, but failed to make an appearance in Super Bowl LVIII.
In exchange for Moore, the Chiefs received a favorable late-round pick swap with San Francisco.
Though he seemed to be facing headwinds in his effort to make Kansas City’s 53-man roster, Moore should be a valuable addition for the 49ers, who will have some serious competition in their receiving corps after the departure of Deebo Samuel in the offseason.
