Skyy Moore's time in Kansas City has come to an end, as the Chiefs on Wednesday agreed to trade the former second-round WR to the 49ers.
San Francisco needed to bolster the wide receiver position due to injuries to Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings.
The 49ers are adding to their wide receiver room. San Francisco acquired pass-catcher Skyy Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to multiple reports. The trade comes as the franchise is dealing with a bit of a mess at the position, with Week 1 just over two weeks away.
The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a deal to acquire receiver Skyy Moore from the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday. A person familiar with the trade said the teams will swap sixth- and seventh-round picks in 2027 in the deal that sends Moore to San Francisco.
The Kansas City Chiefs are freeing up space in their crowded wide receiver room with a reported trade to the San Francisco 49ers today, August 20.

Moore is not on the injury report this week. The 49ers have no other receivers on the injury report. In 2024, Moore was 193rd at his position and in the league in fantasy points, with 0.0 (0.0 per game). Moore's San Francisco 49ers (0-0) have a Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks (0-0).
The Chiefs made Moore a second-round pick in 2022, but he has only 11 starts, 43 receptions for 494 yards and a touchdown and 86 punt return yards and 93 kickoff return yards. He fumbled three punt returns in 2022 and has dropped four passes in his career.
Wide receiver Devaughn Vele, defensive tackle Harrison Phillips and wide receiver Skyy Moore are the three players who joined the Saints, Jets and 49ers, respectively. Those are all recognizable names who should find roles with their new franchises,
