Cowboys Sign Vet WR, Stacking Camp Battle Deck

0:00On April 27th, the Dallas Cowboys just inked veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scanling to a one-year deal. This guy's got eight seasons of NFL experience, making him a familiar name, but it's more of a depth move than a game changer for their receiver room. Earlier this year, he bounced between teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played five games and hauled in 10 catches on 21 targets. And the San Francisco 49ers with just four grabs in five outings. Before that, he got cut by the Seattle Seahawks after training camp, despite a potential $5.5 million packed. Fans and analysts are keeping expectations in check, since his prime peaked back in 2020 with the Kansas City Chiefs, leading the league at 20.9 yards per catch, 690 yards, and six touchdowns alongside Patrick Mahomes. Lately though, his productions dipped hard across multiple stops. He's joining a crowded spot with Speed Demon, Cavantei Turpin already locking down that role, and Valdez Scanling barely logged special teams knaps only, for since 2019.

1:05Experts are grading this, a C- at best, seeing him fight for that last roster slot against guys like Jonathan Mingo. Bottom line, the Cowboys are stacking the deck with undrafted free agents and this vet for camp battles, who don't sleep or needing more pop at, wide out if they want to contend.
