31 Aug
Summary
- Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released by the Dallas Cowboys.
- He was a former Super Bowl-winning wide receiver for the Chiefs.
- Valdes-Scantling previously saved the Chiefs $12 million on their cap.
Dallas Cowboys have released former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling as final roster cuts were made on Sunday. The veteran receiver was signed by the Cowboys during the offseason but ultimately did not secure a place on the team's roster following the preseason.
Valdes-Scantling spent two seasons with the Chiefs, contributing to a Super Bowl victory. He was released ahead of the 2024 season, a move that saved the team $12 million against their salary cap. His production in 2023 saw a decline, with 21 receptions for 315 yards and one touchdown. Despite criticism for dropped passes during the regular season, he delivered clutch plays in the postseason, including in the divisional round and AFC Championship games.
