Malazan Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 The tweet is apparently wrong. Other places like nfl.com say it's 7 million base which sounds more reasonable than 9 for a jag vet.

Oh, and 3 td each of the last 2 seasons. They did create $5 mil in cap space though. Thought I read where they had less than $800 at one point. Yes, less than $800.

I think Buffalo is going to get more and more dominant every year as other teams start to get in cap jail. 1
H2o Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 I mean Watkins has taken home $32,000,000 the last couple of years and will get another $9,000,000 this year at least. It's not a bad haul and he got a ring. Can't be mad at that. 2 1

Expand Maybe they should stop messing around and just bag him till the playoffs. Seems to be when he comes to play.

JerseyBills Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Hill/Hardman/Watkins or Diggs/Brown/Beez ??!? I think you can't go wrong with either group and even though they have the speed advantage , Diggs and Brown have elite speed .. They don't have that true #1 though like Diggs. Watkins isn't close to Diggs level,imo and I like that Beasley adds that elite underneath game KC doesn't have. 1

We know as well as any team he’s likely never going to live up to his incredible potential. By accepting the restructure, it seems he’s finally realizing this too. I suspect the Chiefs have options after the season should he ‘break out’ for the 1st time in his career.. Expand It's such a shame, he could be posting 90+ receptions, 1400+ yards and 8-10 TDs a season if he just would get his head on straight...such a waste of incredible talent.

Plus he was being covered by Sherman, who is running on fumes now. Expand Fumes? Sherman ranked 8th among NFL CBs in passer rating allowed in 2019. 3

Let's not try to make this into more than what it is. I gave my opinion and yes, gave my rational. Don't like it, cool. I'm not going to drag this into argument territory. Stay safe.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Interesting hearing chiefs fans on this— not a lot of support for this re-signing, other than avoiding a dead cap hit by cutting him.
