The Kansas City Chiefs had major wide receiver issues last season and are in the process of overhauling the WR room entirely outside of their young pieces in Rashee Rice and Skyy Moore.

One of their most-targeted receivers from last season is still available in free agency, and reportedly he has two teams interested in him.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling had some huge drops last season and is now looking for his next home, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has said that the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars are currently kicking the tires on him.

Fowler said the Chargers are looking to add a deep threat and speed element to their offense, while MVS would be a fit in Jacksonville since he grew up around the area.

The Chargers make the most sense after trading Keenan Allen and losing Mike Williams to free agency.

They are left with Quentin Johnston, who disappointed in his rookie year, Jordan Palmer, and very little else, although they could very easily use the No. 5 pick in the draft on star receiver prospects Marvin Harrison Jr. or Malik Nabers.

The Jaguars lost Calvin Ridley to the Tennessee Titans this offseason and replaced him by signing Gabe Davis, but they could still use more help alongside Christian Kirk.

Valdes-Scantling had the worst year of his career last season, posting just 21 catches for 315 yards and one touchdown in 16 games.

His mistakes were loud, and it’s surprising he didn’t have more production considering how weak the WR room was in KC.

He’s still only 29 and will be looking to redeem himself elsewhere.
