    Chiefs could reunite with 2-time Super Bowl champion to boost receiver room

    The Kansas City Chiefs lost Rashee Rice to a knee injury and their wide receiver room has taken a big hit. They could look to bring in a free agent to help.

    FanSided's Zach Pressnell suggested the Chiefs could reunite with Marquez Valdes-Scantling to compete with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets who both traded for wide receivers. The Bills added Amari Cooper and the Jets added Davante Adams.

    "Valdes-Scantling, 30, spent four seasons with the Green Bay Packers before ending up with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The veteran wideout caught 63 passes for 1,002 yards and three touchdowns while with Kansas City," wrote Pressnell. "He was a solid piece for each of the last two Super Bowl victories that Kansas City has won."

    The Bills released Valdes-Scantling as a corresponding move to acquiring Cooper from the Cleveland Browns. He has familiarity with the offense and Patrick Mahomes.

    "The Chiefs could look to swoop in and bring Valdes-Scantling back to where he's familiar. The idea here is that he's already familiar with the offense and there wouldn't be any growing pains integrating him back into the team," wrote Pressnell. "He would be available for very cheap rather than having to deal away draft capital like the other pass catching options."

    The Chiefs have Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelece as their primary pass catchers right now. They also have JuJu Smith-Schuster. Valdes-Scantling would add another speedy option capable of making big plays for the Chiefs.
