Regardless, we didn't get our money's worth in Watkins spending that much on a WR with better health history could have even made our path easier or a good CB could have taken us even further. Not sure about that. If Watkins got the Chiefs only one more win, it was the difference between a wild card spot or home field. What's that worth? Put another way, would it be worth that cost to have had one DB with the ability to get a stop on the Pats' last regulation time drive? Did the Chiefs have a choice to get that DB if they didn't spend on Watkins? Reid wanted PM to have the best chance to succeed and got him another legit target. I think it worked but no way to know what would have happened if all those throws went to Conley. In 2015, the Royals mortgaged their future pitching staff to pick up two very short term FAs. Was it worth it? I'd say yes. Did it work for the Chiefs? Not quite, but very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 That's an iffy question because not landing Watkins doesn't prevent them from signing another receiver that could have had a similar impact for the Chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else out there was bringing the red zone threat we needed and upside potential along with 25 year old youth that he did? I think people confuse impact of spending big money short term with guarantees that lock teams into contracts long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,121 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Bears just signed Haha to a 1/3.5 million dollar deal. Wish we would have been in on that. Potential starter and good depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have also given us another year to see if Watts could eventually replace him and would have wiped a whole position off of our need list. HB, Dix, Lucas and Watts would have become a big strength. Still not sure why Dirty Dan is still on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no team was willing to give him more than a 1 year low salary deal, there must be a good reason. Lots of teams need safety help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Dirty Dan would be released by now but they might have plans to keep him for another year, definitely a mistake though. Dix is clearly going for what HB did last year, prove himself for a big pay day in a good defensive unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorenson is decent in the box and at blitzing, which is heavily used in Spag's defense. I would rather they just cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams game comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
