If you're an NFL team and you need help at wide receiver, who you gonna call?
Marquez! (Valdes-Scantling).
Yes, the well-traveled former USF receiver is on the move again, this time to the Dallas Cowboys.
The news broke Monday afternoon that he and the Cowboys have reached agreement on a one-year contract. He likely is an insurance policy in case Dallas and star receiver George Pickens can't reach an agreement on the long-term deal Pickens is demanding.
This will be the seventh team for Valdes-Scantling since Green Bay drafted him in 2018. He played four years with the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers before spending two seasons with Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes, where he was part of a Super Bowl championship team in 2022.
After that, he had brief stops at Buffalo, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco.
