Four Chiefs Players at Risk of Being Cut After 2025 Training Camp

As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for the 2025 training camp starting July 21 at Missouri Western State University, roster battles intensify. With a revamped roster following key offseason moves—trading Joe Thuney and losing Tershawn Wharton, DeAndre Hopkins, and Justin Reid to free agency—several players face the chopping block. Here are four Chiefs at risk of being cut post-camp, backed by performance data.

1. Skyy Moore (Wide Receiver)
Drafted in the second round (2022), Moore’s 2024 season was his worst, with only 31 receptions for 376 yards and 1 touchdown across 17 games (11 starts). His catch rate dropped to 62.3% from 68.2% in 2023, and he averaged a mere 12.1 yards per catch. Facing competition from Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and rookie Jalen Royals (2025 fourth-rounder), Moore struggled in OTAs. Without a standout camp, his roster spot is precarious, likely relegating him to the practice squad.

2. Mike Danna (Defensive End)
Danna, a 2020 fifth-round pick, started 17 games in 2024 but saw his production dip from 6.5 sacks (2023) to 3.5 sacks, with a pass-rush win rate of 8.7% (down from 10.2%). The Chiefs bolstered their edge with Charles Omenihu’s re-signing and 2025 draftees Ashton Gillotte and Jeffrey Bassa. Danna’s 47 tackles and 5 tackles for loss in 2024 pale against Omenihu’s 7.5 sacks. If Danna can’t outshine younger talent, he risks being cut as defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo prioritizes pass-rush upgrades.

3. Elijhah Badger (Wide Receiver, UDFA)
Undrafted in 2025, Badger impressed at Florida with 20.7 yards per catch in 2024 but faces a crowded receiver room. Rice (1,127 yards in 2024), Worthy, and Brown are locks, while Royals and JuJu Smith-Schuster hold edges. Badger’s 578 kick-return yards (2023) add value, but his 54.1% catch rate in college lags behind Nikko Remigio’s special teams reliability (22.3 yards per return in 2024). Badger needs a stellar camp to avoid the practice squad or release.

4. B.J. Thompson (Edge Rusher)
A 2023 fifth-rounder, Thompson has been hampered by a 2024 health scare (cardiac event), limiting him to one game in two seasons. His 0.5 sacks and 3 tackles in 2023 offer little against Gillotte’s college pedigree (12.5 sacks in 2024 at Louisville). At 26 by camp, Thompson’s lack of snaps (27 career defensive plays) and the Chiefs’ depth at edge make him a likely cut candidate.

With only 53 roster spots, these players must shine in camp to survive. The Chiefs’ focus on youth and versatility will shape tough decisions by late August
