Cowboys Part Ways With 2-Time Super Bowl Champion After Preseason Finale
The Dallas Cowboys have released a two-time Super Bowl champion who didn't do enough to earn a final roster spot.
The Dallas Cowboys parted ways with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a two-time Super Bowl champion, after their preseason finale on Friday. Valdes-Scantling appeared in just three preseason games, recording a total of 45 receiving yards. The veteran receiver, who had previously starred with the Kansas City Chiefs during Patrick Mahomes' era, signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys in April.
However, his recent performance could not secure him a spot on the team's 53-man roster. Dallas's quarterback, Dak Prescott, had a historic 2021 season, leading the team to second in total offensive yards per game. The Cowboys' roster features top-tier talent, including George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, and Jake Ferguson. With the regular season set to begin on Sunday, Sept.
13, at the New York Giants, the Cowboys will be without Valdes-Scantling, who had previously played with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season.
