BREAKING NEWS: Chiefs' Young Wide Receiver No Longer in Andy Reid’s Plans – Kansas City Chiefs Make Major Roster Move!

Kansas City, MO – The American football world is abuzz with breaking news: Justyn Ross, the young wide receiver once expected to break out at Arrowhead, is no longer in Head Coach Andy Reid’s development plans for the 2025 season.

According to internal sources and confirmed by reputable reporters, Ross has been officially removed from the Chiefs’ 53-man roster ahead of July’s training camp. This unexpected decision reflects the fierce competition at the receiver position following last season’s Super Bowl LIX run.

Andy Reid gave a brief statement:
“We appreciate Justyn’s effort during his time in Kansas City, but the team must make tough decisions to optimize our collective strength. We’ll continue to monitor his progress and wish Ross all the best in the future.”

Justyn Ross, a former standout at Clemson, joined the Chiefs as a hidden gem after going undrafted in 2022. However, injuries and some off-field issues have hindered his integration into Reid’s demanding, high-speed offensive system.

Sources also indicate the Chiefs will focus on developing young talents like Xavier Worthy, Skyy Moore, and rookie Jake Briningstool—who has been turning heads at recent mini-camps.

Ross’s departure marks yet another significant roster shakeup by the Chiefs as they look to maintain their Super Bowl contender status. Analysts see this as a strategic move to strengthen the offense around Patrick Mahomes, while sending a clear message about the standards at Arrowhead: Only the best remain!

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
