The Kansas City Chiefs are 'in an interesting spot' after missing out on free agent wide receiver Zay Jones. Could a reunion with Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Mecole Hardman be next?
The Chiefs were apparently interested in adding Jones, but the two sides couldn't seal the deal. It's mid-May, so the free agent pool is shallow. KC was reportedly"This puts Chiefs in an interesting spot," Fowler tweeted. "Sides had mutual interest coming off his visit to KC but Arizona put it over the top. Would have been a good fit there. Former Chiefs Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman are still available.
Valdes-Scantling was much-maligned in 2023, having issues both tracking and catching the ball throughout the regular season before having his second-consecutive solid postseason run with KC, culminating in ain late February, creating $12 million in 2024 salary cap space. Valdes-Scantling may not be interested in returning to a team that cut him less than three months ago, but his market clearly never established throughout the peak of free agency.
Stylistically, Valdes-Scantling makes more sense for the current Chiefs pass-catcher group than Hardman. Brown and Worthy should be upgrades on many of the things Hardman did, but Valdes-Scantling could still be a feasible improvement over the likes of Justin Watson and Justyn Ross. If Valdes-Scantling wants to return to KC, if the Chiefs want him back, and if he'd be willing to compete for a smaller role on a smaller paycheck, a reunion would make sense. Those are a lot of "ifs," though, and at this point, KC may prefer to give their current group of receivers the first crack at a larger role during their offseason programs. If the Chiefs are uncomfortable with their pass-catchers by the time they arrive in St. Joseph, Mo.
