Cowboys Sign MVS for WR Depth

0:00On April 27th, the Dallas Cowboys are beefing up their wide receiver room by signing Marquez Valdez Scantling to a one-year deal. This 31-year-old journeyman is now on his 8th NFL team, coming off stints with the Seahawks, 49ers and Steelers last season. After losing Jalen Tollberg to the dolphins, Dallas needed depth behind stars like CD Lamb and the franchise tagged George Pickens. Valdez Scantling built his rep early with the Packers, then hit big with the Chiefs, grabbing two Super Bowl rings in 2022 and 20. 23. He made clutch plays in those title runs, but Kansas City cut him before the 2024 season, kicking off a wild ride through Buffalo, New Orleans and beyond. Fans are buzzing about this low-risk move for a squad that's thin at back-up spots. The Cowboys kept Jonathan Mingo on a pay cut and have Ryan Fornoi plus Paris Campbell, but no one has guarantees locked in. Cavante Turpin handles returns, leaving room for vets like MBS to scrap for snaps.

1:02Last year, he snagged 14 catches across San Francisco and Pittsburgh, stepping up big in Pittsburgh's final games with five grabs for 34 yards to clinch the division. Back in 2022, he torched defenses for over 100 yards in the AFC title game. Dallas hopes that deball magic returns, giving their offense another weapon as they build around Lamb and Pickens. Keep an eye on training camp battles. This could shake up the depth chart quick.
