The Facts: The Chiefs are signing former Packers receiver Valdes-Scantling to a three-year, $30 million deal with $18 million in the first two years and incentives to reach a maximum of $36 million, his agents tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
Diehards Line:
Valdes-Scantling goes from the NFL’s reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers to the NFL’s former MVP Patrick Mahomes. So one day after trading Tyreek Hill to Miami, Kansas City begins spending the money they freed up on MVS -- a new speed threat for Mahomes. Hill was clocked at 21.91 mph in Week 14 of the 2020 season, per NextGen Stats. The only ball-carrier who has been clocked faster in the past two seasons: Valdes-Scantling, who hit 22.09 mph in Week 11 last season. He joins JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman at the top of the Chiefs depth chart at the position.
