Chiefs WR Makes Viral Appeal to NFL Ahead of Cutdown

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Nfl make the roster like 58 or something. We got too many dawgs in the WR room to not be on the team.</p>— Marquez V-S (@MVS__11) <a href="https://twitter.com/MVS__11/status/1695886032196018553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The 53-man cutdown is one of the most difficult times of the year around the NFL. 32 organizations have to inform 37 players that they are being released onto waivers. That means approximately 1,184 people are going to lose their jobs over the next two days

Sure, some will be offered a position on a practice squad or another NFL roster but overall, many will be out of work. It’s obviously no laughing matter, but Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling did make a hilarious appeal to the league office, nonetheless.

“Nfl make the roster like 58 or something,” he requested on X (formerly Twitter). “We got too many dawgs in the WR room to not be on the team.”The current wide receiver unit includes the following players: Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney, Richie James, Justin Watson, Rashee Rice, Justyn Ross, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Nikko Remigio, Cornell Powell, Ty Scott, Ty Fryfogle and Juwan Green. This viral post from MVS already has over 3,000 likes.

Chiefs WR Corps Has Developed Nicely This Summer

Throughout the offseason, many were worried about the lack of star power inside the Chiefs WR corps. That led to constant speculation on DeAndre Hopkins, among others.

In the end, this position group proved to be one of the deepest on the roster over the course of training camp and the preseason — and MVS is letting the NFL community know.At one point, the Chiefs had nine or 10 options at wide receiver that felt legitimate. Then, due to injuries, undrafted talents Nikko Remigio and Kekoa Crawford dropped out of the running.

Despite that, Kansas City still has seven or eight really strong candidates to make the roster, with Ross and Smith-Marsette on the bubble behind the starters (MVS, Moore, Toney), Rice, James and Watson. Smith-Marsette was the latest to make a strong roster push, torching the Cleveland Browns for 101 receiving yards and a touchdown.

After the game, he even let the rest of the league know what type of player he is with a bold statement on his breakout summer.With Patrick Mahomes II throwing the football and a sturdy offensive line blocking for him, this no longer feels like a weakness for KC. As Valdes-Scantling put it, the WR unit has developed into a room full of “dawgs.”

Is a single social media post 'crying'?

Is it also a 'viral appeal'?

No to both.

I think they were saying viral because it had over 3K likes and 400 re-tweets :shrug:

ya it's pretty ridiculous, it's a tweet about how we have 8 wide receivers we'd prefer to keep than let go but obviously can't keep them all

FYP

I agree with him. 53 is a mind-****.

Has it always been 53? If it has then it makes sense for it to be updated. Used to be a run first league so it was not as imperative to keep as many QBs and WRs. Now with the offenses being ran today and more WR usage there is a need for at least a 55 man roster.

Over time, teams’ roster sizes grew, abetting the trend. Teams went from 16 “active list” players available for play in every game in 1925 to 30 by 1938, and 40 by 1964. Since the 2011 season, each team can identify 46 active and seven inactive players before each game.

A 53 man roster is what makes the NFL a little more competitive. More talent is forced into the pool.

We weren't complaining when that piece of shit Pioli left this roster in shambles to the point Reid and Dorsey had to rebuild it using roster cuts from other stacked teams.

Viral appeal?

Okay.
