Giants Wire
The New York Giants selected wide receiver Kadarius Toney in the first round of the 2021 draft. He’s played just four seasons in the NFL and has suited up for three different teams, most recently with the Cleveland Browns.
Injuries and off-field problems have plagued Toney’s career, culminating in a recent arrest.
According to TMZ Sports, Toney has been accused of putting his hands around a woman’s throat “with enough force to cause her to be unable to breathe” in a Georgia home on January 14.
On January 15, a warrant was issued for Toney’s arrest.
The alleged attack left red marks around the woman’s neck and caused petechial hemorrhaging in her eyes. On top of that, Toney reportedly took the woman’s phone from her during the altercation so she could not call 911.
On February 6, Toney was taken into custody in Douglas County on one charge of aggravated assault and one charge of obstructing/harassing 911 calls.
In his short time with the Giants, Toney recorded 41 receptions for 420 yards and zero touchdowns over 12 games. In the middle of the 2022 season, he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, where he helped them to their first of two straight Super Bowls.
Toney spent most of 2023 with one injury or another and was released by the Chiefs ahead of the 2024 season, ultimately joining the Browns’ practice squad.
Toney’s bond was set at $25,000 per count. As of this writing, he has not released a statement.
