When he enters the final period in his newcomer contract, Moore’s exit route from KC is hardly surprised, although it is some business.
The phrase was on the wall a long time before him left the rulers, where Moore fought for a role as no. 6 or 7 receiver on the depth chart and recently missed time with hamstring injury. Perhaps the most symbolic of Moore’s time with his Chiefs performance in the 2nd week of the Prime Minister against Seattle Seahawks. He had a combination of drops and bobbes in fragments and special teams before finishing the game with an 88 -meter point again before contact. The possibilities were always there, but there was never a constant production.
Kansas City went to its third straight Super Bowl appearance last season, but Moore was Nonfactor. He saw operations in only six games, with zero receptions on three targets and only two kicks back for 43 meters worth of special teams. He missed the last 11 games last season and every game in play -game games after he was placed on an injured reserve with the core muscle injury.
Symbolic for Moore’s declining role is that Chiefs won two Super Bowls and played in 10 games by season at the time. However, Moore played in only three games – all as a rookie. It includes what is easily the most memorable moment as a chief, who moved 4 meters from Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl Lvii. Levels in the fourth quarter and an extra level following Chiefs set up, 35-27, on the way to the end of a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Now Moore will turn the page and look to add 49ers. He will be 25 years old on September 10, so he should still have some fresh feet under him.
