Could the Buffalo Bills reunite Valdes-Scantling with Aaron Rodgers in New York?

Marquez Valdes-Scantling signed with the Buffalo Bills this offseason for one year and $2.25 million, all fully guaranteed. A lot of people think MVS is a lock to make the 53-man roster because of money, but I’ll just say that dead cap money from the Stefon Diggs trade didn’t stop Brandon Beane to sell it to the Texans. Could the Bills do the same with MVS? It depends on the other receivers on the team and how they perform during training camp and the preseason.

But a Bleacher Report writer suggested the Bills could make the move to reunite MVS with his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. A major problem with this decision is the fact that the Jets are a division rival, but again, Beane shows in the draft that he doesn’t mind making moves with league rivals, if it benefits the team. ‘team.

“The Bills brought back Khalil Shakir, signed Curtis Samuel and used a second-round pick on Keon Coleman. If Buffalo gets to the end of training camp and it doesn’t look like Valdes-Scantling is close to winning a leading role, that could still save $1.1 million in cap space by trading him.

Another aspect of this situation, as Knox points out in his article, is that if Buffalo released MVS, they would lose the entire $2.25 million without realizing any salary cap savings. At least in one trade, they only pay $1.125 million, while adding the remaining $1.1245 to the salary cap. The financial aspect of the deal makes sense, but despite my reservations about MVS, he will likely get a 53-man roster spot. However, it is crucial to understand that its inclusion is not guaranteed based on contract value alone.
