It\u2019s that other players are doing what he has been unable to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn just one athletic touchdown catch, Brownlee showed more receiving ability than Moore has in his whole NFL career,\u201d the KC writer stated boldly. \u201cAt 6 feet 2 and 202 pounds, Brownlee has the length, size and contested-catch abilities that Moore will apparently never possess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Maga\u00f1a argued that \u201cat this point, you have to feel better about Brownlee getting a shot to prove himself than you do about letting Moore cling to a roster spot simply because he was drafted in the second round.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs WR Jason Brownlee Has Been \u2018Coming on Strong\u2019 at Training Camp &amp; During the Preseason<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5449948\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Jason-Brownlee2-e1754912839751.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=780\" alt=\"Chiefs Pushed to Finally Cut 'Disappointment' Draft Pick After Preseason Loss\" width=\"780\" height=\"436\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5449948\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5449948\">\n<\/div>\n<p>While breaking down the Chiefs\u2019 first preseason outing on their \u201c41 is the Mic\u201d podcast, Kansas City beat reporters Matt Derrick (Chiefs Digest) and Nick Jacobs (KSHB 41) gave their take on the WR corps, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, Jason Brownlee has been coming on strong for the past week,\u201d Jacobs acknowledged to begin his thoughts. \u201cHe\u2019s starting to routinely put days together. And the one thing he provides that nobody else outside of Xavier Worthy [does], in my opinion\u2026 is the ability to time his jump and elevate exactly when Mahomes wants [to throw the football].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs went on to add that Brownlee has connected with Mahomes like this at training camp in recent days and weeks, building that \u201ctrust\u201d with the Chiefs\u2019 QB1 well before the preseason opener.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that turned some heads on the coaching staff and they started giving him more reps with [Mahomes] this past week than they had before,\u201d Jacobs added, noting that Brownlee \u201ctook advantage\u201d of his opportunity with Mahomes.<\/p>\n<p>Jacobs believes Brownlee could carve out a role on the 53-man roster simply due to this red zone aspect of his game, where Mahomes can trust him on fades and back-shoulder routes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Nikko Remigio Gets Mixed Reviews as Chiefs Cut Candidates Emerge at WR\/Returner<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not just Brownlee that Moore has to contend with at wide receiver in 2025. The former second-round pick is also expected to face competition from WR\/returners Nikko Remigio and Tyquan Thornton.<\/p>\n<p>Maga\u00f1a highlighted Remigio\u2019s 48-yard kick return against the Cardinals as another feather in his cap as he attempts to win the lead returner job, but Jacobs was less complimentary of the former UDFA success story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just doesn\u2019t have that nitrous oxide,\u201d Jacobs pointed out, arguing that a faster returner could have taken Remigio\u2019s kickoff for a touchdown with how well coordinator Dave Toub\u2019s unit blocked for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just kind of looks like he\u2019s running in quicksand,\u201d Jacobs continued, suggesting that Remigio is more of an ideal practice squad player than someone who needs to begin on the active roster.<\/p>\n<p>In place of Remigio and Moore, Jacobs and Derrick appeared to be on board with Brownlee and Thornton making the team if things continue as they have gone so far this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Arrowhead Pride beat reporter Pete Sweeney seemed to agree with this on August 9, too, posting that \u201cTyquan Thornton and Jason Brownlee are trouble for Skyy Moore and Nikko Remigio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thornton caught 1-of-2 targets for 15 yards on August 9, but his ability as a potential punt returner and punt coverage gunner adds value as he\u2019s steadily outperformed both Moore and Remigio as a wide receiver option at training camp.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals provided some early clarity on the cut conversation at wide receiver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : \ud83d\udd25 Chiefs Urged to Finally Cut \u2018Disappointing\u2019 Draft Pick After Preseason Loss \u2014 What\u2019s Next for KC?
