New Orleans signed the veteran receiver late in the 2024 season after injuries plagued their wide receiver room, taking out Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
Valdes-Scantling burst into the scene with the Saints in his second game with the team, bringing in 3 receptions for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns. He would respond one week later with a two-reception game for 87 yards and a touchdown. Valdes-Scantling’s Saints tenure would end with the veteran receiver recording 17 receptions for 385 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Now going onto the fifth team in his career, Valdes-Scantling hopes to land a bigger role with the Seahawks who recently lost veterans Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.
The Saints have a need at wide receiver and the departure of Valdes-Scantling only emphasizes the void. There remain other veteran receivers on the market for New Orleans to contact, such as wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, and the team has been linked to other receivers in the draft.
