The deal is worth “up to” $5.5 million according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. MVS is following Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak to Seattle after the two crossed paths in New Orleans last year. The Saints scooped him up after Buffalo cut him midseason. Despite hopping on the moving train, MVS picked up the offense with ease and was surprisingly productive. He caught 17 passes for 385 yards and four scores across eight games as a Saint. With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf out of Seattle, Valdes-Scantling could play a starting role as the team’s primary field-stretcher this year.

Valdes-Scantling got a limited session in Wednesday before being listed as a full-go for the Thursday practice. Assuming no setbacks, the 30-year-old should be able to play against the Buccaneers in Week 18, and should be on fantasy benches either way.

Valdes-Scantling missed last week’s game with the same torso injury but was cleared to play in Week 17. He was hampered and ineffective for much of the game before taking a brutal, legal hit in the fourth quarter and being knocked out of the game. Head coach Darren Rizzi said after the game that the veteran receiver re-aggravated his previous injury, so we wouldn’t be shocked if he doesn’t suit up in Week 18.
