OBJ is a better receiver than Watkins, obviously. But Watkins is on, essentially, a 2 year deal with KC and only costing them 7.8 mil. this year. OBJ is an 8.5 mil. cap hit this year and is reportedly seeking a long term deal of $20 mil./year plus after this year. Is Denver gonna pay that?
Denver is on the hook for $44 mil. this year for their skill position players (QB, RB, TE, WR1, WR2). KC's offensive skill position players are costing them a combined $23 mil.
So you might want to hold up on the LOL's for the money KC is paying their #2 WR . . . .
