The Kansas City Chiefs are getting down to business following a Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Andy Reid and Co. have opted to release wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The move comes less than three weeks after the team captured its third NFL title in five years.
Releasing Valdes-Scantling will save Kansas City $12 million against the salary cap, and the move comes after the wide receiver’s solid performance during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl run. Valdes-Scantling caught eight of 13 targets for 128 yards in the postseason, including a touchdown catch in the Super Bowl.
