TB EGO commented:

“Hopefully a fresh start will do him good. Unless you’re a criminal, that fandom will tear you to shreds for their QBs inept play.”

Ryley Guatney also commented:

“As a Chiefs fan… Thank you so much for taking him off our hands. He is the epitome of what you never want in a receiver. No idea how he made it this long.”

“49ers just pulled a power move! Injury crisis? No problem - Skyy Moore is landing in San Francisco to light up the offense. Get ready, Niners Nation… the sky’s the limit!”

Ambsace commented:

“The fact that they got anything at all for Moore is a plus; he’s arguably the worst draft pick of the Veach era.”

Skyy Moore’s Chiefs career in a nutshell

Skyy Moore served as a backup in the Chiefs’ receiving corps as a rookie, but in his second season, he earned a larger role and made eight starts in the 2023 campaign. He struggled in Kansas’ offense, failing to become a consistent target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

His contribution became even more limited the following season, with a core muscle injury sidelining him for most of the season. He appeared in just six games in 2024, with his last reception coming in December 2023.

With a move to San Francisco, Moore’s NFL career is getting a new lease of life. The wideout will be an important depth player for a 49ers team struggling with a series of injuries among its receiving corps.

The 49ers will be missing Brandon Aiyuk, who is recovering from a knee injury, going into the first few weeks of the season. Other names out with injuries in the 49ers' receivers room include Juan Jennings, Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins.
