According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the New Orleans Saints have signed the former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on Monday following their Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Valdes-Scantling was released by the Buffalo Bills last week after trading to the Cleveland Browns for star Amari Cooper.
Given Kansas City’s lack of depth at receiver after injuries struck Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Rashee Rice, some Chiefs fans thought Valdes-Scantling would be a logical choice for the defending Super Bowl champions.
But, now that Valdes-Scantling has agreed to terms with New Orleans, Kansas City will have to look elsewhere if it intends to sign another passer before Week 8.
Valdes-Scantling was a key part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVII and LVIII teams and is sure to make an immediate impact for the Saints if he sees playing time in Week 8.
Stay tuned to see if Kansas City decides to sign another receiver this week following veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s early exit from the Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to injury. injury.
