Former 2x Super Bowl Champion WR Expresses Desire to Return to Buffalo Bills After Becoming Free Agent

Buffalo, New York – November 6, 2025

After being released by the New Orleans Saints on November 5, a former wide receiver 2 times Super Bowl champion has caused a major surprise when publicly expressing desire to return to the Buffalo Bills. Unlike many other players who would feel angry or disappointed, he has used this opportunity to share a message full of emotion about the place he truly wants to commit to in his football career.

“Buffalo makes me feel like I truly belong. The cold in 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. Bills has made me feel like part of something real, and honestly, I’m not ready to give that up.”

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: “I’m Blessed” | Buffalo Bills

This player is none other than Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who signed a one-year contract worth 4.5 million USD with Buffalo Bills in March 2025. He participated in 5 games, got 8 receptions and 90 yard before being traded to Saints in early October. However, after a short time, he was released and is currently a free agent.

After Valdes-Scantling shared his aspiration, Buffalo Bills still has not given an official response. However, according to The Athletic, the team still highly values his work ethic and leadership ability. With concerns about depth in the roster at the wide receiver position, many in the industry believe that reuniting could be not just a romantic idea but also a reasonable solution.

In a league where loyalty is often tested, Valdes-Scantling’s emotional words have highlighted an important thing: not all players only play for contracts or money, but sometimes they play for the love of a place called “home.”

After Marshawn Kneeland Tragedy, Bills Owner Terry Pegula Plans to Establish “Mental Performance Lab” – Initiative to Protect Players' Mental Health
November 8, 2025 Buffalo, New York – The heartbreaking death of Marshawn Kneeland, the 24-year-old defensive star of the Dallas Cowboys, continues to leave a large aftershock in the entire NFL. According to conclusions of Frisco police and psychological experts, the indirect cause leading to the tragedy is mental crisis and prolonged depression. The incident has made the professional sports world look back at how teams are caring – or more accurately not caring enough – for the mental health of the people standing behind helmets and shoulder pads. In that wave of calls for change, Buffalo Bills owner – Terry Pegula is said to be planning to implement a breakthrough initiative: establishing “Mental Performance Lab” right at the team’s headquarters. This is seen as a pioneering project in the AFC East, focusing on caring for and strengthening mental power for players – an aspect often overlooked in the harsh competitive environment of the NFL. According to plans, this center will include private counseling rooms, meditation areas and a full-time team of therapists, helping players have a quiet space to recover after competition pressure. Each player will undergo psychological check-ups twice per season, at the beginning and middle of the season, while being assigned a separate “mental coach” for each position, like a physical trainer – the person who monitors, supports and accompanies them throughout the journey. “Physical fitness helps you play well one game, but spirit is what helps you stand firm the entire career,” Terry Pegula shared, voice lowering in the interview. “You can train speed, tactics or strength – but you cannot demand a hurting heart to continue fighting if it has not been healed. I want Buffalo Bills to become the place where every player feels understood, cared for, and knows that they never have to bear the burden alone. That is the true meaning of ‘Bills Family.’” Though “Mental Performance Lab” is still in the proposal stage and has not been officially announced, experts evaluate this as an inspiring step. If this initiative is implemented, Buffalo Bills could become the pioneering team bringing psychological care into the structure of modern sports training – a powerful message that, in the world of strength and collision, understanding and compassion are the true foundation that keeps the spirit of the game firm.
