The San Francisco 49ers officially announced the signing of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, seeking to bolster a receiving corps that has suffered several injuries during the preseason.
Coming off a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, Valdes-Scantling brings speed, experience, and the ability to stretch the field, qualities that will be key to providing quarterback Brock Purdy with more options. Known for his ability on long routes and explosive plays, the receiver is emerging as an immediate addition to fill the gaps in the Californian team's passing offense.
The 49ers, looking to repeat their NFC contention, have been hampered by injuries to some of their top receivers. Valdes-Scantling's arrival provides added depth and will allow head coach Kyle Shanahan to have a broader range of options in his offensive scheme.
The move also represents a new opportunity for the 29-year-old veteran, who hopes to establish himself in a creative and dynamic system like San Francisco's. With this addition, the 49ers aim to maintain their offense among the most dangerous in the league heading into the 2025-2026 season.
