(Even if that’s the reason he was in buffalo). But toward the end of his time in buffalo he asked out and wanted to be traded/released. Why bring him back now after a player wanting out? That situation was real bad, no real QB and the team was trash, plus the Patriots owned the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've been one of his biggest detractors over the past few years and the main reason wasn't so much about him but what people perceived his value was worth. Ever since early in his career, he has been an average starting 2-3 WR. He's injured too often, non factor in more games than not and too inconsistent, nowhere near worth the money he was paid. With that said, if the Bills can get him for $6M a year or less, then I'm all for it. At $6M a year, he starts to become more of a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but you thought he was worth $16 million a year. There were a number of you that thought the Bills should have kept him, after reading everything about him, his inability to stay healthy, inconsistent game play, terrible locker room presence, lack of commitment, we can safely say that you guys were all wrong and that Beane was right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I actually agree with that. I was sort of kidding but man, I had no idea that he was that bad of a presence on the Bills team. The players were happy that he left and I think it was a good thing for him to have a change of scenery. If Beane thinks he's worth it to kick the tires again then I'd be for it.

Mango Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Logic said: I just don’t understand where anyone who buys the idea of Watkins potentially signing here thinks Watkins is gonna line up? Why, at age 27, after being a critical part of the Chiefs offense, would he come here to be WR5 and rarely see the field? It makes no sense. None. Ha! Hey man. I like Davis. I think he has a second contract here, possibly even as a WR1.... But let’s not kid ourselves, Watkins probably passes Davis in the depth chart in the rotation with Diggs and Sanders. Is also probably the 4th WR in a 4 wide set. Sure, maybe Davis has a great camp in 2021. But in 2020 Sammy > Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The guy is a headcase and a negative locker room presence. He put forth little effort in his time here, IMO he faked injuries at times so he wouldn't have to play, then got himself traded out of here to a "contender" at the time. Now that the Bills are a contender he thinks he can come back to the Bills and all will be forgiven with the fans?? I highly doubt it.

Nelius Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Huh. I don't really get where he'd slot in tbh, and he can't return anything or help on ST, so I'm going to assume it has nothing to do with the team. Seriously, would he be 5th on the depth chart? Why would he leave his current situation to essentially be our Byron Pringle? Sammy's weird but probably not weird enough to willingly move down the depth chart. That said I don't get the comments on him being a negative locker room presence. His teammates love him. 2014 was a long time ago, and I don't think he was ever a bad apple anyway, just kind of strange and anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his act got old in KC too. Guy makes $15M, takes up a roster spot, and shows up for 2 games each year. I doubt KC would even sign him back for the vet minimum— they are better off having a guy that plays most Sundays, as are we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Davis is special and learning from some some top tier talent right now. He's not falling past Watkins or Emmanuel Sanders on the depth chart. And there's Sanders too, who by all accounts is far more dependable than Watkins. McKenzie can return. I have no idea where Watkins fits unless he's just like hey guys I loved living in your city, let me just be weird and hold down the 5th/6th spot on the depth chart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got him out because they thought at the time that draft pick value was important so they could go get their QB of the future. And that's for the same reasons other players got traded that year. Watkins was KC #2 WR behind maybe one of the best WR in the league. He averages 2 games a season he is out... and you can count on that.. yet.. that's ok to count on when he is not your #1 or #2 WR. He would compete with sanders for the other slot position. IF KC had our TE you think Mahomes would of thrown it to him 105 times last year? no.. more receptions would of gone between him Hardman and Robinson. you guys quickly type in hard no like it was hard to say... For me he gives Sanders competition and that's good for a 3-4 mil prove it contract. And for that price this is an easy yes. My opinion won't be popular but its mine.

Your opinion on why he may come back Ill leave alone because like you said its your opinion. But he was traded out of here for more than the need for draft picks. The guy wasnt a culture fit. He has proven throughout his career that he is a me first guy. To say he was only traded for the need of draft picks is a discredit to Mcdermott and his staff. They watched the tape and saw he was a loafer who didnt play hard. Its why his immense talent never translated to success. Now for my opinion, he is an immature guy who only plays football for the money. I dont think he loves it. He falls in the category of should have been great but doesnt care enough to be. He has essentially stole money from teams since he has been in the league. He is such a non factor that I can barely recall where he was traded to. I dont think the guy is long for the league.

I think my first bolded on this is also highly opinionated so I wont respond to that. Also there is no video to my recollection of him not finishing plays or routs. There was times he did not come back to the QB in need and heck.. that was well documented with even Brown last year. Some would call making it to the NFL level a success because how many teams even now don't have a true #1 WR? As to your opinion of him playing for money? I don't know where you get that or where it has ever been documented that he just plays for money. We got a second round draft pick out of him that indeed helped us get Josh Allen. Was Darby a bad culture fit also? I don't think so? They get a 3rd round pick for Darby then they all the picks we got to trade for there people. They wanted an immediate detachment of what was built. They wanted a better QB and a QB for the defense. Without trading who we traded they could not do what they did and we would not have Josh Allen and Edmunds. SO Bottom line.. Just answer this.. Would Sammy Watkins improve this WR roster? I doubt anyone can say no and as for any "Maturaty issues or Loafing as you put it? Pretty sure Diggs would put a stop to that in a hurry" Just remember, when players don't do there job on the field by giving up on plays or taking plays off.. This is the same WR receiver that did this Exposed Sherman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
