Good ****ing god. You're smarter than this.

Like... seriously. With a 2nd and two 3rds, he better be able to find a NT and two CBs who don't suck from day one.

And he better find some goddamn DL depth somewhere in the rest of the picks.

We're so ****ing ****ed on D.

That's a high annual value but only 3 years. Smart.

I wonder why teams aren't doing this more. Player gets more $ guaranteed and the contract isn't an albatross.

And since Direkshun hates it you know its a slam dunk smart move.

With the right moves in free agency and the draft, the defense can be shored up.

Lets also not forget we have some issues at the C/G position.

No. **** it. Spend all the money on Watkins this year. Lower the hit in 2019 and 2020.

We need maneuverability to re-sign players and fill in gaps if we're going to take advantage of these cheap Mahomes years.

Like it or not, 2018 isn't the year we should be going all-in on.

Good luck with Hill and Watkins ROFL

Love this.

Were paying him like he's a god damn superstar. wtf

The upside being it's two years but ideally we'd be extending Tyreek long term next year.

They are hot after Fuller and Trumaine Johnson right now...

This! 100 percent.

I get signing the WR when one like Watkins can be had. I look for Veach to look for a veteran OG next. Those wanting FA defensive players are going to be disappointed. Those will be home grown.

****. Have to leave for work.

Can't wait to catch up on reaction this afternoon.

Maybe Fuller by the time I check back in...

No.

Says who?

Pretty sure they’re going to sign a corner and a NT.

Fuller by the source that nailed the Watkins deal. Chris Simms for Trumaine.

Sweet!

99 Rams without a top 10 defense is the 2003 Chiefs.

Quoting to ask again...

**** yeah!!! I love this!!!

This guy has elite skills. Goff missed about SIX easy scores to this guy and he still had 8 TDs.

He called the money exactly yesterday

WHO IS THIS PERSON

Strictly from a $$$ perspective...

Veach turned Alex Smith and Tamba Hali into Kendall Fuller, Sammy Watkins and $9M in cap space.

Allen Robinson 3 years, $42 mil ($25 mil guaranteed)
Mike Evans 5 years, $85.5 mil ($55 mil guaranteed)
Sammy Watkins 3 years, $48 mil ($30 mil guaranteed)

God those twitter clips do really make him look good.

Yup. Enough to go get a corner as well. Cut Bailey and they can add two to the DL comfortably.

:whackit::whackit:

Is this the first time we've ever had two #1 WR's on the field ???

This offense is gonna be ****ing loaded

On Paper i think this offense has more talent then the 2003 offense. We will see though. 2003 Offense has eh Wr's lol

:shake:

MORE THAN ALLEN ROBINSON

EDIT:
Veach turned Alex Smith and Tamba Hali into Kendall Fuller, Sammy Watkins and Anthony Hitchens.

And OLB, ILB, FS

Go cheer for Denver. They seem to be shopping the discount isle.

If he stays healthy... god DAMN!!

I’m sad

Man we’re going to be a nightmare for opposing defenses. Pick your poison, ladies.

We’ve got the best offensive personnel in football, bud.

It’s happening.

Get to munching on that juicy critter!

Different player, Watkins is speed and explosion, Robinson is more of a possession type and he's coming off an ACL.

No1curr

The nice thing with this also is it allows the team to be able to move Hill into the slot in 3 WR looks and still have a threat outside.

Kevin Keitzman is going to be so embarrassed he’ll regret the day he started shitting on Mahomes

The pay/yr is in line with Antonio Brown and Deandre Hopkins deals from last year. My mind is full of ****.

When I heard we might sign Watkins, my first thought was yeah! that's a guy with a lot of upside. Not at 16 million though. Thats already an every year superstar money. I don't get it.

If Conley is still fast as shit, my goodness...

The best defense is an overpowering offense.

—Cabletech94—March 2018

Who's got a better set of skill position players in the NFL?

It's because of his age and what he can do, he should explode here. You gotta pay for talent and this is a guy who can put the offense over the top.

Rapport just said the Chiefs aren't done and are heavy after DL and corners

is there a way to listen tot his stuff?

Yasssss

Those guys will get 24 to 25 milliin in a few years. Cap is skyrocketing every year. You can't compare past contracts. Keenum is getting 20 million for ****s sake and he has ZERO potential.

WOW love the aggression

Also all this says to me is that the Chiefs obviously valued Watkins as a better player for their scheme than Robinson cause they probably could have had either.

meh. I hope Veach knows what he is doing. Seems we spent alot of our cap money on 2 guys when we have lots of holes to fill.

I like him being aggressive though.

Veach printing money up there at One Arrowhead? Da****.

The whining here is appalling.

I wanted Sammy. More explosive and he finally has a guy that can get him the ball. Goff was propped by a system and could not hit an open Sammy for shit.

That Rams game just got even more interesting.

But, we have no idea how these deals are structured and they could easily walk away from Bailey if an upgrade does occur there.

**** the rams, we got this

After I watched that thread of 2017 GIFs last night, I felt like Watkins was easily worth big money based on those alone. I mean he was getting good separation against the game’s best corners.

you a new chiefs fan? lol

I guess Dorsey didn't put the Chiefs in cap hell after all.

Exactly, love the effort

That's not true


1. He didn't want to be here; he's West Coast, mu-afuka. All the cornpone white folk out here don't understand his brand of swag...he wone go home.

2. He told all 32 teams (including the Chiefs) that the only long term deal he was willing to sign was with a west coast team in California.

So...why WOULD they pay that POS!?

Especially after the Jets game : forget what we saw; the whole slapping his mom/attacking Dave Toub/threatening to kill the team's bus driver/et al probably made what they all had to go through on Mon-Sat not worth the Sunday afternoon as a reward.

I'd have traded him for whatever I could get, while he's still worth something.

Wonder if he sign with us so he can play against his old team the rams and bills.

Watkins has a chance to have a huge year with Mahomes willingness to launch the ball.

It's a ton of money but love a 3-year contract and not the usual 5 years. A lot of WRs' prime is right at 25-27 years old so that's perfect.

Wow that's a lot of money for him. Not sure this is the best use of the salary cap. Time will tell.

Watkins probably also thinks the deal can set him up, yes he gets a lot now but he'll also hit FA again at 27 after possibly having huge years with a big armed QB.

Seems like a deal that benefits the team and the player.

Exactly.

Choking a coach got him shipped out of Washington...and Kansas City.

3 years and he wore out his welcome in both places.

You MUST be taking crazy pills if you don't understand why Peters is gone.

They gave money to Sammy Watkins, a player that doesn't slap his mom in front of NFL Security and actually wants to play in KC.

Go figure.

True. I guess part of my trepidation is the fact that it has never worked out when the Chiefs sign a big name WR FA. They always suck and are kicked to the curb.

We have a QB now to use these toys...

Who was the last one we signed? Johnnie Morton? Morton was never the athletic freak that Watkins is.

Let's remember there are guys in the draft this year that are the same age as Watkins.

$16m is a bit much. But they want to surround mahomes with talent so I'm good with it. Keep in mind this is a short term deal which are usually more expensive and Id rather have a short deal for a guy like Watson. If he's anything like what we has pre foot surgery, this is a steal. Watkins has much more upside than Robinson.
