The Seattle Seahawks are in agreement with free agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.

The Seahawks would be the wideout's fifth team in eight seasons.

Valdes-Scantling, 30, began the 2024 season in Buffalo before the Bills released him on Oct. 15. He signed with New Orleans six days later and went to post 17 catches for 385 yards and four touchdowns in eight games (all starts) for the Saints.

Valdes-Scantling has 205 career receptions for 3,556 yards and 20 TDs in 106 games (68 starts). He led the league in yards per reception in 2020 with 20.9 while with the Green Bay Packers, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 draft. He won two Super Bowl rings with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Seahawks are retooling their WR room after releasing Tyler Lockett and trading DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh, a deal that's expected to become official later Wednesday.
