Former 2x Super Bowl Champion WR Expresses Desire to Return to the Buffalo Bills After Becoming a Free Agent — Willing to Give Up Everything, Even Take Half His Salary, Just to Wear the Bills Jersey Again
Buffalo, New York – November 6, 2025
The NFL world was caught by surprise less than a day after the New Orleans Saints released a veteran wide receiver — a two-time Super Bowl champion who, despite his experience and accolades, found himself without a team as of Tuesday. Yet instead of expressing frustration or blame, he used the moment to send an emotional message about where he truly wants to be.
The unnamed receiver spoke passionately about one city, one crowd, and one locker room that left a mark on him — Buffalo. His words immediately resonated with fans who recognized sincerity behind the sentiment, describing not a player chasing another contract, but a man longing for belonging.
“Buffalo makes me feel like I truly belong. The cold at Orchard Park, the roar of Bills Mafia. I don’t need big money or a big role — I just need one more chance to come back. The Bills made me feel like I was part of something real, and honestly, I’m not ready to let that go.”
Moments later, sources confirmed what fans had begun to suspect — the voice belonged to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, the former Bills wideout who signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the team back in March. He appeared in five games, posting 8 receptions for 90 yards before being traded to New Orleans in early October. After a short stint with the Saints, he was released on November 5 and is now a free agent.
According to The Athletic, the Bills have not yet issued a statement, but the coaching staff continues to admire Valdes-Scantling’s work ethic and leadership. With depth concerns at wide receiver due to injuries, several insiders believe a reunion could be more than just a sentimental idea.
For now, his future remains uncertain. But in a league where loyalty often fades fast, his heartfelt words serve as a reminder — some players don’t just play for a logo. They play for the place that once felt like home.
