His manufacturing was subsequent to nothing through 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 some other sport in 2023.
Regardless of his huge catch on the most important stage, the Chiefs can 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 lifeless cap quantity is a low one. If the crew 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 crew that’s on the seek for legit broad receiver assist for Patrick Mahomes, saving cash at that individual place would show to be key, and one thing that Kansas Metropolis seemingly received’t go on.

It is going to be simply one of many many selections that the entrance workplace of the Chiefs must make through the NFL low season. They’ll have to come up with the money for Chris Jones (in the event that they resolve to pay him) and the cornerbacks that helped solidify their protection for the Tremendous Bowl run are both underpaid or with no contract utterly.
The monetary state of affairs for Kansas Metropolis isn’t dangerous in the meanwhile. They’re projected to have greater than $23 million in accessible cap house for the low season, which is above the league common of $17 million. However that quantity is bound to lower after they handle the likes of Jones and the cornerbacks, and Professional Bowl middle Creed Humphrey is due for a pay say quickly, as nicely.
