Chiefs trade Skyy Moore to 49ers for 2027 picks, pending physical

The Kansas City Chiefs have traded wide receiver Skyy Moore to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick and a seventh-round pick, with the deal contingent on Moore passing a physical. The move comes as San Francisco’s receiving corps faces a stretch of injuries just weeks before the season opener, leaving the team light on proven targets and in need of depth at a critical position.

Moore, a second-round pick in 2022 out of Western Michigan, leaves Kansas City after three seasons in which his production never fully met the expectations that accompanied his high draft status. In 36 games, he totaled 43 receptions for 494 yards and one touchdown, while contributing in the return game with a notable 88-yard punt return for a score in a recent preseason contest. Moore’s 2024 season was hampered by a core muscle injury that limited him to six games, and he didn’t register a catch in December 2023. He also dealt with awareness issues in the return game early in his Chiefs career, including a problematic muffed punt last season.
