US Edition49ers Agree to 1-Year Deal with Receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, AP Source Says
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a 30-year-old veteran with 205 receptions and 20 touchdowns, chose the 49ers over the Steelers due to better wide receiver needs amid injuries and suspensions.
- The San Francisco 49ers agreed to a one-year deal with wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on Wednesday to bolster their receiver corps.
- The signing followed Valdes-Scantling being waived by the Seattle Seahawks prior to the league's roster deadline Tuesday after splitting last season between Buffalo and New Orleans.
- Valdes-Scantling, a 30-year-old veteran, has played seven NFL seasons with Green Bay, Kansas City, and others, totaling 205 receptions, 3,566 yards, and 20 touchdowns.
- He averaged 17.4 yards per reception over his career and caught a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII overtime loss to the 49ers, 25-22.
- This addition comes as the 49ers start the season with multiple injured receivers and a suspended Demarcus Robinson, suggesting Valdes-Scantling will help address depth concerns.
