The Buffalo Bills parted ways with Marquez Valdes-Scantling last week in order to clear a spot on the roster for the newly acquired Amari Cooper.
Now, less than a week later, Valdes-Scantling has a new home.
Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported on Oct. 21 that Valdes-Scantling was signing with the New Orleans Saints. The two-time Super Bowl winner struggled to carve out a regular role in Buffalo, but now will have the chance to take on a more significant role on a slumping team hit hard by injuries.

Valdes-Scantling joined the Bills last offseason amid a major shakeup in the wide receiver room. The Bills traded away top receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans and allowed No. 2 Gabe Davis to leave in free agency, replacing them with a mix of veterans like Valdes-Scantling and rookie Keon Coleman.
Though the Bills espoused a philosophy of “everybody eats” in the passing game, spreading targets among the group of receivers, Valdes-Scantling struggled to find a regular role. He appeared in six games this season but made just two catches for 26 yards.
