MVS released from the Seahawks

[Desert Bills Fan]

The Seahawks released Marquez Valdes-Scantling after they couldn't find someone to trade for the veteran receiver and the $2.5 million that remains on his one-year contract. From a financial standpoint, that had to be a tough move to make since he's guaranteed another $1.5 million on top of his $1.5 million signing bonus. But from a competitive standpoint, it was their only choice absent a trade. Seattle signed Valdes-Scantling to be their WR3 and to help replace some of the speed their offense lost in the DK Metcalf trade. But because he doesn't play special teams, he couldn't be any lower than that on the depth chart if he wanted to make roster. Rookie fifth-round pick Tory Horton clearly outperformed him over the summer

 

to the surprise of no one at TBD…

The adenoidal broadcasters (j.g.) at WGR will be clamouring for the Bills to sign him.

If I was the S***hawks, I would have him selling beer.  Gotta recoup some of that $1.5m.

This guy gets guaranteed a lot of money every year and gets released every year.

Me too.

If I could get a big signing bonus and suck at my job and get let go and have some funemployment and then do it all over, again and again, I sure would.

Can we please start a new thread for every player that gets cut that once played for the Bills?

[BuffaloBillyG]

I'll give him credit. He made quite a few big plays for the Saints last year. He can play but is a one trick pony.

[Ray Finkel]

We might as well sign too

Speed. You can't coach speed. 

 

He had 385 yards, 4 TDs and 22 YPC last year in only 8 games with Saints.  Prorate that over 17 games and as compared to Bills WR group, only Shakir would have had more receptions and yards.   Hollins had 5 TD last year in 17 games and Coleman had the highest YPC at 19.

Yeah, maybe we can just deposit all of them into one thread.

Given how much they charge for beer in Seattle, this would actually work.

While he has all that speed, the man can't catch the ball over his shoulder. Any deep ball requires that he make a full pirouette for a chance at a completion. I don't get how so many general managers can't see what any average fan can. It was no surprise MVS was cut any more than Mecole Hardman -- these guys are fast but glaringly deficient in other important skills.
