Wide receiver was perhaps the most dubious position for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on their route to yet another

Super Bowl victory. Nonetheless, the Chiefs are allowing one receiver to become a free agent due to contract

disputes among their team.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been released by Kansas City, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

The Chiefs’ cap space will be spared $12 million.

Chris Jones is set to become a free agent, and Kansas City is committed to locking him down to a long-term deal. L’Jarius Sneed was

also acquired by Kansas City using their franchise tag; if the cornerback’s cost increases, they may decide to trade him. Although the

Chiefs could require wide receivers, the organization couldn’t afford Valdes-Scantling’s $12 million salary.

especially in light of the wide receiver’s performance in the 2023 campaign. Scantling caught 21 catches for 315 yards and a score over

the course of 16 games. Regarding catches, he ranked eighth on the team. Even if his yards was fourth-best, Kansas City isn’t expecting

this kind of output from a player who costs $12 million.

The Chiefs are currently 17th in the league with about $29 million in cap space after Scantling was released. But extending Chris

Jones’ contract would significantly deplete whatever is left.

The defensive tackle’s performance during their Super Bowl run might leave Kansas City with no other option.

After playing for the Chiefs, Marquez Valdes-Scantling will have his own championship ring. He will now look for another team that

might give him that chance in free agency. In an attempt to secure long-term contracts for their stars,

Kansas City will start over at receiver.
