Breaking News: Marquez Valdes-Scantling is Back in Black and Gold! The Steelers have officially signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad, sparking excitement among fans eager to see him back on the field. This move reunites him with his former Green Bay Packers teammate, quarterback Aaron Rodgers – a partnership that once lit up the gridiron.
Last week, rumors swirled about this potential reunion, and now it's a done deal. Valdes-Scantling brings a wealth of experience to Pittsburgh, having played for several teams in recent years.
Before joining the Steelers, Valdes-Scantling had a brief stint with two NFC West teams this season. He caught four passes for 40 yards while with the San Francisco 49ers before a calf injury sidelined him.
Looking back, Valdes-Scantling's career has been quite the journey. Drafted by the Packers in the fifth round back in 2018, he spent his initial four seasons alongside Rodgers in Green Bay. He then celebrated victory, earning two Super Bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs, capping off the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Before landing in Pittsburgh, he also played with Buffalo and New Orleans.
Over the course of his career, Valdes-Scantling has played in 111 games. He's caught a total of 209 passes for 3,606 yards and scored 20 touchdowns.
