The Kansas City Chiefs are releasing veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, according to a league source, which will save the team $12 million on its 2024 salary cap.
He rebounded, though, in the postseason for the Chiefs with eight catches for 128 yards and one TD (in Super Bowl LVIII).
Logical cap cutThe Chiefs releasing Valdes-Scantling makes plenty of sense, especially considering he was the most logical veteran to be a salary-cup cut.
Valdes-Scantling had the worst season of his six-year career last year, but he played his best in a Chiefs uniform in the postseason.
In seven playoff games with the Chiefs, Valdes-Scantling generated 15 receptions for 250 yards and three touchdowns.
