Handswarmer 645 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Sammy Watkins evidently hears what’s said about him out in the Twittersphere and any other football spheres that talk football. His record after five years in the NFL shows that two teams (Buffalo, in the 2014 draft; Kansas City, in free agency in 2018) have significantly overpaid for him. The Bills traded two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick to take him fourth overall in 2014, and then the Chiefs paid $16 million a year for him in 2018. Once he’s caught more than 60 passes in a season; never has he had 10 or more touchdowns in a season. So last week Watkins tweeted: King me ✔ @sammywatkins I will be the best this year mark my word I want it more now than I ever did before in my life im sacrificing everything to get to where I once was the world will now get to witness my greatness again..! #STARSHIP14 #LIMITLESS14 2,986 12:45 PM - May 18, 2019 Foot issues have plagued the speedy Watkins going back to his second season. He’s never been right for any of the three seasons since. Sammy Watkins, average production per season in the last three years Games: 11 Receptions: 35.7 Yards: 514 TD: 4.3 Offensive plays: 538 It was strange to see and hear, in the wake of Tyreek Hill’s questionable status for the 2019 season, that there was very little reliance on Watkins by the Chiefs to fill the void that could be left if Hill misses significant time. So it’s good to see Watkins’ determination to finally fulfill the great expectations that trailed him out of Clemson in 2014 and that he’s never been able to live up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,159 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We Chiefs fans can only hope for the best. I just finished watching the AFC championship game again yesterday. He's certainly a talented WR when healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I predict if he plays in 14 plus games he will lead the AFC in TD receptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,210 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Today's Locked On podcast had an interesting take on Watkins. Among other things, they believe he will have to assume a leadership role in the WR room that was Conley's role last season. They sounded pretty optimistic about him. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/locked-on-chiefs/e/61417295?autoplay=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I hope he stays healthy His contract is set up that way as well at least as far as his tenure here. If gets it done we carry his big 2020 salary or restructure and extend. If he can’t stay healthy we cut him with no real dead CAP and probably look to both free agency and draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and I'm sure his agent reminds him of it every day haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
