CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I just realized recently your handle is an Impractical Jokers reference...very nice! In regard to your post, it's too much for me also but I really like Watkins and if they feel like they had to overpay to get him in KC, that's an issue they get to play with. Haha i was hoping someone would get the reference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Love this but wonder why his production down last 2 years? Chiefs signed Sammy Watkins, formerly of the Rams, to a three-year, $48 million contract. With strong-armed Patrick Mahomes now under center, GM Brett Veach made noise about adding another speedy receiver to play opposite Tyreek Hill, but it is still surprising to see them making this big of a splash. Watkins seems to perfectly fit what they were looking for, however. He has averaged over 15 yards per catch in each of his first four seasons in the league, and 13 of his 25 career touchdowns have come from 20 yards or more, although he showed his ability in the red zone last season. While Watkins would seem to be a good real-life fit, it is fair to wonder how much fantasy value he will return on an offense helmed by a first-year starter with Hill and Travis Kelce demanding targets and Kareem Hunt in the backfield.

soonerborn77 276 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'll take it, don't think we overpaid, it's just the market moving. Watkins is 25 and Hitchens is 26 which is impossible because I was told that Veach only wanted old farts!!!! Sorry no reason for that dig but just had to throw it out there how dumb that logic was for a guy who was our GM for barely half a season....

FANATIC 852 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Wonder if this years deal is lower and the last 2 yrs most of the contract? Kc has mega cap room in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also went over 1k with tyrod fuckin taylor at qb. I'm not worried if the kid can play, he's proven that, I'm worried can he stay healthy.

I'm not worried if the kid can play, he's proven that, I'm worried can he stay healthy. Yep. Ultimately this deal will be judged like a lot of deals. If Watkins stays healthy and gives us good production (especially in the red zone) then it's a good deal. If he continues to be hampered by injuries and puts up pedestrian numbers...its a bad deal. But so much is still unknown about what Mahomes ceiling in his 1st year is going to be and how Watkins fits into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCJohnKC 33 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 he's 25 years old and in his prime, it's the right price and a good job by KC not to commit past 3 years. Veach is killing it IMO. 3 years is a good thing. I like Veach's aggressiveness. Hitchens was all but signed in Indianapolis and Veach swooped in. Indy fans are pissed. Lol. To do this you have to overpay. I get that and I hope it doesn't backfire. I really do like Watkins, I just wish it didn't have to be such a heavy price for a player that has injury history.

Saw this reading about Watkins and the Rams, he was traded towards the end of preseason in August, so he never got to work with Goff in preseason or training camps so that probably hurt. He'll get to go through all that with Mahomes this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Wow, that is a lot of money, but with so many teams having deep pockets this year it makes sense. I love the aggressiveness. Can’t remember signing a top FA 25 year old WR. Kennison and Rison come to mind, but not sure that is on the same scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
