The reward with MVS outweighs the risk for the Buffalo Bills

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills have signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year contract. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal is worth up to $4.5 million, with a signing bonus of $1.125 million.

Valdes-Scantling spent the last two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, helping them win back-to-back Super Bowls. With the Chiefs, Scantling caught 63 passes in the regular season for 1,003 yards and three touchdowns. In the playoffs, MVS caught 15 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns.

Bove’s view:

This is another approach to bills where the reward outweighs the risk.

MVS is a serious threat that has struggled with drops at times and doesn’t catch as many targets as it should. Looks familiar?

There are many similarities between MVS and Gabe Davis, who had success in Buffalo.

I don’t think this is a sure-fire hit for the Bills, but it’s a safe bet that MVS will make the 53-man roster.

My lasting memory of Valdes-Scantling is the contested catch he made against the Bills in the playoffs. In a game where Buffalo desperately needed someone to make a tough catch, the Chiefs got him, and it proved to be a big difference in the game.
