The Kansas City Chiefs, who signed veteran receiver Amani Toomer in the hopes that he would be able to help provide leadership and stability to a rebuilding team, have decided that they don't need him, after all.
The Chiefs released Toomer as part of the moves aimed at taking the roster from 80 to 75.
Also released were veteran defensive tackle Alphonso Boone and rookie tackle Cameron Golberg.
Receiver Devard Darling, whom we've reported likely has a torn ACL, was placed on injured reserve. Running back Kolby Smith remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list, knocking him out for at least six weeks of the regular season.
Toomer had spent his entire career with the Giants. He caught 48 passes for 580 yards and four touchdowns last season, during which he appeared in every regular-season game and started 12 of them.
For his career, Toomer has 668 receptions for 9,497 yards and 54 touchdowns.
Hell, I think Toomer is worth veteran minimum. Probably rather have him than Reggie Brown.
He's had a good career, but if he can't hold down a spot on KC's roster, then I think this is the end of the line for Toomer.
Who cares The Chiefs are the worst team in the AFc. & why did they trade tony gonzalezs?
Go Raiders!
The TOOMER-HAWKchop, perhaps?
he's not good enough to beat mark bradley and he can't contribute on special teams.
this is the end of the line for a great underrated WR and my main man Amani Toomer. perhaps the all-time greatest WR in Giants history.
hopefully the Giants can bring him back into the organization in some fashion. Toomer had great hands, and lord knows our WRs could use a catching instructor. Keenan McCardell doesn't seem to be doing the trick.
Bring him back to Jersey... Maybe the Jets will make him an offer.
In all seriousness, the Cowboys and the Ravens could use another receiver.
New England Patriots might pick him up.

@ steeler4life
A pitbull, awww that's sweet... The Raiders are the 2nd best team in the west hands down.
Don't just think we are going to suck because of that saints game.

For the record he is the best the Giants ever had he holds the record for the most catches in team history
The record was held by Kyle Rote prior to last year
Good Luck Toomer thanks for the catches
Cue Arnold:
"It's not a Toomah!"

Keep cutting those veteran receivers so the Vikes can find one to compliment Berrian.
