I don't think we can go in with expectations. He flashed at times but that suspension and 2 drops on 11 targets certainly hurt his cause. It'd be nice if he came along well and could at least provide a real solid red zone option at the bottom of the roster this year.

Idk, is it possible he isn't the kind of WR Andy usually goes for? Andy and Mahomes have never been big on 50/50 jump balls, they usually scheme to get you separation and out in space and get massive YAC. Ross just might not be the right fit here.

I will never stop rooting for Justyn Ross until he's taking meaningful snaps from a better player. Until then, anything is better than Skyy and Toney.

What the hell are they going to do with Ross, Toney and Moore? Let them battle for the last spot? Keep two of the three?

I'd honestly like to keep Toney if he isn't a cancer. Chances are, he's not going to drop every other pass next year.

[saphojunkie]

I'm not ruling any of them out for the lights coming on, but there is no world in which it is expected or likely. I think they will try to trade Toney, and when that doesn't happen, he's gone.

I expect Moore and Ross to make it to camp.

Toney has at least shown the ability to make electric plays. Moore and Ross have shown nothing to this point.

But I don't know where Toney stands with the staff. He may have pissed off too many people to be welcomed back.

I think toney is objectively the most talented. I also think he's the least likely to make the roster, but every day he isn't released makes me question that a little more.

The soon we accept he's a bum the better.

If he’d just get his head together he’d make an outstanding player minus the injuries he keeps.

I watch that SB punt return a lot and the way he is so Shifty on his feet is amazing when he makes that first guy miss. Frustrating to see the physical potential there going to dropped balls and interceptions

His contract is fully guaranteed. As much of a head case as he is, he is still a good 5th or 6th WR. I will not be surprised if he is not used in one of those cut-down trade scenarios.
