Valdes-Scantling, an eight-year veteran, previously contributed with the Packers and Chiefs, winning two Super Bowls with Kansas City in 2022 and 2023. His 2024 season with the Bills was limited, appearing in six games with two receptions for 26 yards, followed by short stints with the Saints, 49ers, and Steelers through 2025. Despite a modest recent track record, he has compiled 3,686 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns over 116 games, giving the Cowboys a veteran presence to evaluate in training camp. The move appears to be a low-risk, high-upside signing that could yield depth or an unexpected contributor if Valdes-Scantling performs well; otherwise, Dallas can part ways with minimal commitment.
