Man if he would even just return to 2022 form he'd be a weapon.

Pretty sure that's what they're counting on. They've realized he can't carry the weight of being a key contributor, but he can make an impact in a limited role as we've seen. Just get him back to that.
We only have so much money to go around, some of these guys from last year are simply going to have to step up and play better. |

Exactly, when he came here in 2022 he was flying by the seat of his pants. Don't expect him to be an X or Y, just get the ball in his hands a few times a game.

I dunno man. It's one thing to struggle but he flat out gave zero shits and then threw everyone else under the bus for it. Why would you want to keep that around? I guess you can relegate him as a gadget or return guy but all hes gonna do is bitch about his role.

Honestly, I'm rooting for a redemption arch from Toney now.
Kids got athletic talent, shows sparks of brilliance, but he's just immature. Hell, so was I at that age. Still am! He was thrust into a situation where he was being touted as the new #1 WR for the best team in football after an abysmal start to his pro career and clearly wasn't ready. I think Andy made that comment to give him confidence, but ultimately made him self conscious. PFF only has him marked down as responsible for 4 drops all last season, but I know he had 4 in the DET game and received PFF's worst single game WR score since 2018, so there were definitely more. His season grade was a 62%, which isn't all that bad considering the NFL fanship's current impression of him. Hollywood Brown, our new #1 WR, only had a 67% grade last season himeself. Anyways, I'd be surprised if his drop % was above 10%. We've seen plenty of college guys with near the same drop %, notably Troy Franklin this year, that are still considered highly desirable and picked in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft. There's a popular NFL parody instagram that never gives this guy a break. Literally, near daily content trolling him, which is actually pretty funny but a bit overdone at this point. #K-ToneyComeback |

I mean fine by me if we're just looking to stash him as a boom/bust guy. But he's gotta do a looootttt to earn back trust. He's fine now when all is good but he's been another level of bad at dealing with the slightest hint of adversity. We're not talking about a guy making some mistakes. His attitude during those mistakes was another level of awful

He needs to stay healthy and actually make it through camp.

No shit! He could be the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice but if you spend all your time in the tub or riding a bike on the side lines you're of no value to the team. I hope some one has finally pounded that thought into his brain.

Yeah that's the issue. If his role is returner and gadget guy and let's be real... You can't trust him in a bigger role, it means you have to keep a backup returner and gadget guy on your roster. Because he doesn't go on IR, he takes up roster space when he gets hurt. And he doesn't always finish games.
