Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
The Dallas Cowboys have plenty of drama at wide receiver — now they’ve added more depth by signing veteran free agent wide receiver and 2-time Super Bowl champion Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a 1-year contract.
“Veteran WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys, per source,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero wrote on his official X account on Monday.
The 31-year-old Valdes-Scantling — better known as MVS — is 6-foot-4, 206 pounds, and won a pair of Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs following the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He spent time with 3 different teams in 2025 with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
In 8 NFL seasons, Valdes-Scantling has 219 receptions for 3,686 yards and 21 touchdowns in 116 regular-season games. Where he’s been really special is in the playoffs, with 27 receptions for 432 yards and 4 touchdowns in 12 career postseason games.
The Cowboys are in the midst of what could be a burgeoning contract mess with NFL All-Pro wide receiver George Pickens, who had not signed his franchise tag for 2026 as Monday — a deal that would pay him approximately $28 million in 2026.
