Veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be making a chunk of change with the Buffalo Bills.
. The signing will see the 29-year-old add experience and speed to a revamped Buffalo receiving corps that lost Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis in the offseason; Valdes-Scantling also brings a bit of championship pedigree to the unit, as he’s coming off back-to-back Super Bowl wins with the Kansas City Chiefs.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has shared the terms of the contract, and they’re perhaps a bit more generous than one would anticipate for a mid-May depth acquisition. The insider reports that Valdes-Scantling is set to earn up to $4.5 million in his one-year deal; the contract also includes a $1.125 million signing bonus.
Bills are giving former Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, including a $1.125 million signing bonus, per source., had just $2.26 million in salary cap space prior to the signing. Whether or not Buffalo has to make a corresponding roster move to fit Valdes-Scantling’s contract on the books—and the wideout onto the roster itself—remains to be seen.
Valdes-Scantling figures to serve as a boundary field-stretcher for Josh Allen and the Bills should he ultimately make the roster. He’s caught 186 passes for 3,155 yards and 16 touchdowns throughout his six-year NFL career.
