2024 NFL trade deadline tracker: Cowboys add receiver with season spiraling

Dallas sends 2025 second-round pick, '26 fourth-rounder to Chiefs for Toney

Cowboys add another weapon for Dak Prescott in wake of injuries

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired wide receiver Kadarius Toney from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-rounder, the teams announced Tuesday.

The move comes as the Cowboys look to bolster their receiving corps, which has been hit hard by injuries. Michael Gallup is expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, while James Washington is also dealing with a foot injury.

Toney, 24, has shown flashes of brilliance in his career, but he has also struggled to stay healthy. He missed seven games last season with a hamstring injury, and he has already missed two games this season with an ankle injury.

However, when he is on the field, Toney can be a dynamic playmaker. He has 82 catches for 1,081 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career, and he also has 20 carries for 191 yards and two touchdowns.

The Cowboys are hoping that Toney can provide a spark to their offense, which has struggled to score points this season. Dallas is averaging just 18.9 points per game, which is 29th in the NFL.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, are dealing with a number of injuries at the wide receiver position. JuJu Smith-Schuster is dealing with a concussion, while Mecole Hardman is also nursing an injury.

Toney's departure leaves the Chiefs with a thin group of receivers. Skyy Moore and Justin Watson are the only other healthy receivers on the roster.

Toney fills a need for the Cowboys, but he comes with some risk

The Cowboys are getting a talented player in Toney, but he comes with some risk. He has had trouble staying healthy in his career, and he has also had some off-field issues.

In 2021, Toney was arrested for marijuana possession. He was also suspended for the first two games of the 2022 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

The Cowboys are hoping that Toney can put his off-field issues behind him and focus on football. If he can stay healthy and out of trouble, he could be a valuable addition to the Dallas offense.

The Chiefs get some much-needed draft capital

The Chiefs are getting a good return for Toney. A second-round pick is a valuable asset, and the Chiefs can use it to add depth to their roster.
