Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 21 minutes ago, Southern_Bills said: To sign with the Ravens and take 6M for 1 year means his market was pure trash, as it should be. I said this earlier, but a pretty huge fall from grace. This contract value basically means that the chiefs would rather have anyone else as their WR3 than Watkins. It’s not even the money. He eats up a roster space and often an active game day spot, as when he does play, he is often hobbled/less than 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sammy "Glass" Watkins Over/Under 10 games. .. I'll take the Under. Heard his foot still hurts from his Buffalo days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Seems sensible for both. The Ravens needed something at WR and Sammy didn’t have many options. I suspect the Ravens still go WR with one their first two picks but this helps them get some help outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerovoltz Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I thought at the time KC signed him, it was overpay.....and in retrospect it was a major overpay....oddly, the offense metrics were better with him on the field than not...but I think KC could have found a no.2 WR for 1/3 the cost and been fine. .....a wierd but true stat. KC, with Sammy made 3 consecutive AFCCG appearances, winning 2 of those and 2 super bowls, winning 1 of the 2. Maybe he's a good luck charm or something. Not that it matters here....alot of fans in KC upset we haven't signed a "no.2" WR this offseason so far. I'm kind of glad they haven't.....I tink you can put a bargain FA on the roster and Mahomes will help the stats...but there is only so many targets....Hill, and Kelce take up alot...and KC spreads it out quite abit beyond that....no reason to expend substantial resources on a guy that would be the 4th option most weeks. He'll do well in B'more. .....thing about that team...it's offense sputtered not because of lack of WR...it needs 2 high end TE's to run well....they should have gotten one of Junnu Smith or Hunter that NE got.

Curt Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Only 27 and 4th team already. With only a one year contract, it wouldn't be a surprise that he will become a free agent again at the end of the season and sign with team number 5 for the 2022 season.

That the chiefs didn’t even seem to offer him the same pretty measly deal that Baltimore gave him shows Me too it wasn’t really about money. To your point, a rookie or bargain vet at the WR 2 spot is perfect. You already have Kelce and Hill as basically your 1/2, Hardiman for a few other targets, and can you use your backs well in the passing game. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to invest more money in your O skill players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Well, he has a job so good for him. I’m a little surprised on the financials, but I guess Harbaugh is having a hard time luring WR’s there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft a QB in the worst year to draft one, trade up to draft a WR in a great WR draft year. The fact that they could've had Mack is what really angers me. That's who I wanted the whole time and I'm just a fan. That pick would've made a lot more sense. It was like fate.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Read the fine print of the contract to see why it's so generous. Sammy cannot talk about reptilian aliens or a flat Earth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Looked up his career earnings last night, divided by his career catches. Watkins has made 196,000 a catch in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because he was their #1 WR. I think in this offense everything goes through the TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why he was still available March 26th I wish him well but between always being hurt and Lamar throwing minimally outside he won't be doing much but running and blocking.
