MVS Giveth, MVS Taketh, MVS Leaveth

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (MVS) signed a 3-year/$30 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Over the last few seasons, MVS gave the Packers a “take the top off of the defense” weapon that allowed for Davante Adams to put up monster numbers and enabled the running game to have favorable looks. It also allowed for MVS to put up solid WR2/WR3 numbers during a rookie contract for a second day pick — and those opportunities also came with their share of frustrating drops in key moments.

However, in the end, it was his absence in the recent 49ers playoff loss that should be remembered most by Packers fans — for as exhilarating and frustrating MVS was to watch when the ball came his way — he was able to make an impact on the defensive scheme because of his speed that will be the largest hole to fill.
