Cowboys Part Ways with WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

The Dallas Cowboys have announced the release of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, as reported by multiple sources.

He recorded four receptions for 40 yards with the 49ers and ten catches for 80 yards and one touchdown while with the Steelers.
