Kansas City Chiefs Star Threatens Retirement Over Raiders Trade — “I’m Not Wearing Silver and Black”

Kansas City, MO – September 29, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs shocked many fans last week when reports surfaced that second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy could be on the roster bubble. But now the explosive rookie-turned-starter has taken things a step further, issuing a fiery vow about his football future.

Through three games this season, Worthy has totaled just two receptions for 21 yards. Despite high expectations about his speed in Andy Reid’s offense, he struggled to carve out a consistent role behind Travis Kelce and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Even with limited production, Worthy made it clear where his loyalty stands. Speaking to reporters, he delivered a stunning declaration:

“If they ever tried to send me to the Raiders, I’d walk away from the game.”

“I was made to wear red and gold, and I’ll never put on silver and black — not for money, not for snaps, not for anything. Loyalty to Kansas City means everything to me,” Worthy emphasized.

His words underline the venom of the Chiefs–Raiders rivalry, one of the NFL’s oldest and most heated battles. For Worthy, wearing Las Vegas colors would feel like a betrayal of the identity he’s built in Kansas City.

Team insiders explained that roster moves were more about numbers than talent. With Kansas City in championship mode, they can’t afford to keep developmental pieces at the expense of depth in other positions.

Still, Worthy’s vow struck a chord with Chiefs Kingdom. His comments not only spotlight the intensity of the rivalry but also the pride that comes with representing Kansas City’s red-and-gold tradition.

For now, Worthy’s agents are exploring opportunities with other franchises in need of speed and special-teams help. But one thing is certain: Las Vegas won’t ever be part of the conversation.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
