WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling visiting Chiefs on Wednesday

Didn’t see a thread.

The Green Bay Packers might soon lose another pass-catcher.

Free agent receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is in Kansas City visiting the Chiefs on Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The Chiefs could be on the verge of trading away receiver Tyreek Hill, making Valdes-Scantling a potential replacement option as a deep threat for Patrick Mahomes. Hill wants a new contract but negotiations with the Chiefs have stalled.

The Packers have attempted to keep Valdes-Scantling after trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, but outside competition might be enough to push his price outside of Green Bay’s comfort range.

Valdes-Scantling is a far cry from Hill, a four-time All-Pro, but they have comparable straight-line speed. The Chiefs would be banking on Valdes-Scantling to help replace some of Hill’s production down the field. In 2020, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in yards per catch and catches of 40 yards or more.

Over four seasons in Green Bay, Valdes-Scantling caught 123 passes for 2,153 yards and 13 touchdowns.

It’s possible Valdes-Scantling’s visit to Kansas City is an effort to force the Packers to pay his price to keep him, so a return to Green Bay can’t be completely ruled out at this point.

If Valdes-Scantling departs, the Packers would be left with Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb as the team’s top two receivers. Odell Beckham Jr., Julio Jones and Jarvis Landry are among the biggest names still available at receiver in free agency. The Packers would also be expected to use a high draft pick to add help at receiver.

That speed will be nice in the offense curious how teams will defend us

4.37 big body
17 yards per catch career average in 4 years

Aren’t his hands questionable?

Less than 50% catch rate.

He's absolute garbage. Got to a point where Rodgers wouldn't even throw to him.

Green Bay has less at WR than us and even they aren't interested in bringing him back. Should tell you all you need to know.

Shit hands but elite speed

Actual stats:

Tgts - Rec - yds - Tds

55- 26 - 430 - 3
63 - 33 - 690 - 6
57- 26 - 452 - 2
72 -38 - 581 - 2

He's good if your looking for a low salary, boom or bust wr3 for your draftkings lineup I guess.

27 years old, lots of injuries last year, drops a lot of passes and benefited from opposing defenses focusing on Adams.

Landry is two years older and has recent injury issues as well but at least he has experience being a WR1 and can help bridge that role with a rookie WR.

Green Bay don’t even want him, even after losing Adams which left them enough cap. Dude has stone hands. Something we don’t need here.

Everything I’ve read says that Green Bay would happily take him back and are in the mix to do so.
