The Seattle Seahawks released the 30-year-old as part of this week&#8217;s cuts\u2014likely to make room for rookie <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25183433-tory-horton-jr-nfl-draft-2025-scouting-report-colorado-state-wr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Tory Horton<\/a>\u2014and the rival San Francisco 49ers were quick to <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TomPelissero\/status\/1960736308889817556\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">snatch him up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">While Valdes-Scantling hasn&#8217;t surpassed 500 receiving yards in a season since 2022, he remains a capable deep threat who can stretch the field. Last season with the New Orleans Saints, he averaged an impressive 22.6 yards per catch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Adding Valdes-Scantling\u2014to a one-year deal, according to ESPN&#8217;s <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46088310\/marquez-valdes-scantling-agrees-49ers-deal-source-confirms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Nick Wagoner<\/a>\u2014was about the best move San Francisco could make at receiver, barring a trade. The 49ers simply don&#8217;t have many healthy wideouts at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Jauan Jennings (calf), Jordan Watkins (ankle) and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) are all ailing, while Brandon Aiyuk will open the season on the reserve\/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. This means Ricky Pearsall, recent trade acquisition Skyy Moore and, now, Valdes-Scantling may be the only healthy receivers the 49ers have in Week 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">This isn&#8217;t a signing that will rock the NFL landscape, but it&#8217;s a valuable one for San Francisco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling wasn&#8217;t traded, but he is on the move.
