Steelers Sign Veteran WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Boost Aaron Rodgers Offense

The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively seeking to bolster their receiving corps by signing veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who is familiar with quarterback Aaron Rodgers from their time together with the Green Bay Packers. Valdes-Scantling, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs, was released by the San Francisco 49ers earlier this season after limited play due to injury. The Steelers, currently 4-2 but struggling for offensive explosiveness beyond DK Metcalf, hope Valdes-Scantling's speed and experience will provide an immediate impact and help improve their standing in the competitive AFC playoff race. Valdes-Scantling’s career highlights include 123 receptions, 2,153 yards, and 13 touchdowns with Rodgers in Green Bay, along with a strong rapport that could translate well to Pittsburgh’s offense. The team has been seeking veteran help to complement a young receiving group and address their need for a consistent second wide receiver option. With the trade deadline approaching, the Steelers are motivated to enhance their chances for postseason success by adding a proven, dynamic receiver.
