His manufacturing was subsequent to nothing throughout the common season. In Week 7, MVS caught 3 passes for 84 yards and scored a landing, which wound up being his solely rating of the common season. It was a season excessive in catches and in yards as nicely, as he by no means caught greater than 2 passes or went over 48 yards in every other recreation in 2023.
Regardless of his large catch on the largest stage, the Chiefs will likely be financially incentivized to maneuver on this low season.
Valdes-Scantling is on the books for $14 million in 2024, a quantity that doesn’t even come near matching the manufacturing. Fortunately for Kansas Metropolis, his useless cap quantity is a low one. If the workforce cuts or trades him at any level this low season, they’ll solely be on the hook for $2 million in 2024, which might give them a saving of about $12 million.
For a workforce that’s on the seek for legit broad receiver assist for Patrick Mahomes, saving cash at that exact place would show to be key, and one thing that Kansas Metropolis doubtless gained’t go on.

It is going to be simply one of many many selections that the entrance workplace of the Chiefs should make throughout the NFL low season. They’ll must have enough money Chris Jones (in the event that they determine to pay him) and the cornerbacks that helped solidify their protection for the Tremendous Bowl run are both underpaid or with out a contract utterly.
The monetary scenario for Kansas Metropolis isn’t unhealthy in the intervening time. They’re projected to have greater than $23 million in obtainable cap area for the low season, which is above the league common of $17 million. However that quantity is certain to lower once they deal with the likes of Jones and the cornerbacks, and Professional Bowl middle Creed Humphrey is due for a pay say quickly, as nicely.
