Valdes-Scantling is a talented wide receiver who has recently improved his catch rate, but the Kansas City Chiefs decided not to keep him on their team. Despite this, the Los Angeles Chargers have expressed interest in giving him a chance, according to reports. Valdes-Scantling has spent the past two seasons with the Chiefs after four years with the Green Bay Packers, where he won two Super Bowls.
During his first regular season with the Chiefs, Valdes-Scantling had 687 receiving yards on 42 catches. However, last year those numbers dropped to 315 yards on 21 receptions. He made crucial catches in important games, including the divisional round win in Buffalo and the AFC Championship game against Baltimore. Valdes-Scantling also scored a touchdown in Super Bowl LVIII, which was the only touchdown for Kansas City during that game.
With the recent departure of Mike Williams and the trade of Keenan Allen, the Chargers have clear needs at the receiver position. Valdes-Scantling is one of the few available options with name recognition. The receiver has praised Aaron Rodgers as a great teammate and hinted at a potential new connection if he were to join the New York Jets. However, it seems that the Jets are not currently prioritizing reuniting with former teammates in their team-building strategy.
