Valdes-Scantling signed a one-year deal with Buffalo reportedly worth up to $4.5 million. He ultimately proved to have a limited role in the passing game.

In six games, the 30-year-old had two receptions for 26 yards and was on the field for just 39 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps.

Despite his lackluster production so far, Valdes-Scantling may land on his feet before the season ends thanks to his experience and past track record. Two possible suitors immediately jumped out.

MVS played alongside Aaron Rodgers for four seasons with the Green Bay Packers and led the NFL in yards per reception (20.9) in 2020. There are few things the New York Jets love more right now than reuniting Rodgers with old teammates.

During a two-year spell with the Kansas City Chiefs, Valdes-Scantling wasn't a model of consistency but did step up when it mattered the most. He had 250 receiving yards and three touchdowns in seven playoff appearances. Signing him would make sense with Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown out for the year.
