DieHard 2,061 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Not sure I agree with that ranking. Sammy makes much less than Berry or Houston and actually plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Crabtree & Gordon/Pats signed for much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,781 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Too early to call that on Watkins, as much as I might agree. But Houston and Berry should be ahead of him. At least Watkins is on the field... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Berry should be #1 on that list. Watkins might not be posting big numbers, but he's a great decoy and keeps defenses honest. To those of us who know and understand football, we see that Watkins makes guys like Kelce and Hill better because he's a threat himself, so those other guys can't be doubled. I consider the Watkins signed to be a resounding success, because there's more to the game than just numbers. Berry is killing this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 It's a joke. Dee Ford can't be signed at this point. Houston needs to take a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we even want Ford signed? Look at his history. If we give him a big contract we're going to end up in the same situation that we are with Berry and Houston. We shouldn't gamble big contracts on guys that have a history of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,210 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The rankings are meaningless. Of course, anyone who spends the season on IR is not earning his pay. Why don't they make the list to just include those who are playing but not earning their pay because of their performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point, everyone has an opinion on who is over or under paid. To me, anyone playing a kids game and being paid millions to do so is being overpaid. Those who protect our families both domestically (first responders) and on foreign soil (military) are underpaid. Some say teachers are underpaid yet many parents now days home school and produce better results. Again, the eyes of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,210 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 #14 is overpaid, but the Chiefs are a much better team with him on the roster both as a receiver and as a decoy. After the two Donk games, Denver probably thinks the Chiefs got a bargain. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sammy Watkins proved today why he was worth the contract to this Chiefs' offense. DEN always does everything they can to contain Hill and Kelce and having Watkins running free is a better option for Mahomes than Conley or Robinson. Players like Houston and Berry are not over paid because they're injured. Sorry, it's not the same thing as having these huge contracts and being bad players.

In the team sport aspect, it's 6-1 in 7 games actually and the one game he missed the majority of was the one we had our lowest point output of the year (at Denver). I mean I wouldn't take a cheaper useless player like Crabtree, at least Watkins is a threat and other teams have to account for it which opens up the offense even more.

He's the 25th leading wide receiver with 453 and is on pace for nearly 1000 yards. Frankly, with our remaining schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it.

Exactly why he was brought in because somebody has to get single coverage and he can torch you when he does. And likewise he makes our offense less succeptable to injuries. Bottom line is if we are going to overpay a player it should be purposeful. Plus the kid is only 25 years old. My prediction over 1,000 yards, 8 TDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
