Wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is signing a three-year, $30 million deal worth up to $36 million with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The agreement comes a day after the Chiefs traded star wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.
For the Green Bay Packers, it’s another wide receiver the team will have to replace after trading star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders last week.
The speedy Valdes-Scantling has averaged 17.5 yards per catch since he entered the NFL in 2018, which is the fourth-highest average in the league over that span. He’s the only player in the league to rank in the top 10 in yards per catch in each of the past three seasons (among those with a minimum of 25 catches).
Valdes-Scantling also joined James Lofton as the only players in Packers history with 25-plus receptions and an average of 15-plus yards per catch in each of their first four NFL seasons.
After playing in every game over his first three seasons, Valdes-Scantling missed six games last season — five because of a hamstring injury and one because of COVID-19.
