GMs pay these guys based on what they think the player is capable of. Weather they meet the expectations is another story.

Valid point.
Honestly, regardless of what he’s paid, I don’t think there will be near enough volume to go around for Watkins to absolutely shred it here. Kelce, Hill, and Hunt will simply take too many touches.
But at the same time, that’s exactly why I want Watkins. It would present defenses with issues that no other team can in terms of downfield threats. If Watkins is in a Chiefs uniform, that a lot of one on one coverage for those three to take advantage of. You can’t scheme a defense to stop all of those guys. You better have some dudes who can match up. I also think he’d be great for the scramble drill with Mahomes.
There’s no doubt that he’s going to cost more than most are comfortable with, but we’re talking about a chance to have one of the great offenses this league has seen in years. And the defense isn’t going to be bad either, I don’t care what anyone says. There is plenty of money to still add a lot there too through FA and the draft.
