- Report: Cowboys to sign 2x-Super Bowl WR, former Aaron Rodgers target
The Cowboys were answering plenty of questions heading into draft weekend about wide receiver. Now on the first day of work after the final pick, they've done a little bit more to help address the position.
Dallas is signing veteran receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year-deal, per a report from NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.

Valdes-Scantling, 31, is entering his ninth NFL season. After being a fifth-round draft choice of Green Bay in 2019, Valdes-Scantling spent his first four years with the Packers . Two seasons with the Chiefs followed, with the Florida native winning a Super Bowl ring at the end of both.
He split time between Buffalo and then New Orleans in 2024, then went from San Francisco to Pittsburgh during the 2025 season as he looked to regain his previous form but never quite caught on with any of those squads (despite a reunion with Aaron Rodgers as a Steeler).
Valdes-Scantling has started 69 regular-season games in his career, notching 219 receptions for 3,686 yards and 21 touchdowns.
In Dallas, he'll join a WR room led by CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens . Ryan Flournoy showed incredible development last year, with KaVontae Turpin , Jonathan Mingo , Parris Campbell , and Traeshon Holden also the mix.

The move comes even as Cowboys fans and observers are watching The Star for a Pickens sighting. The wideout, who is set to play on the franchise tag in 2026, was the subject of draft-day trade rumors leading up to selection day, but it was announced he would be officially be signing his tag before picks began.
As of Monday afternoon, Pickens had not done so.
The Cowboys drafted a wide receiver over the weekend, using a seventh-round pick on East Carolina's Anthony Smith. Additionally, the 2026 undrafted free agent class so far includes SMU's Jordan Hudson and Georgia Southern's Camden Brown at the position.
And now they've added a seasoned two-time Super Bowl champ in Valdes-Scantling.
