Next year Sammy is going to be making $19M and they're on the hook for $7M of Sammy's $20M salary in 2020 no matter what. Denver would probably have to pay OBJ what Sammy will be making in 2019 and 2020, and they'd be getting more bang for their buck.

So you might want to hold up on the LOL's for the money KC is paying their #2 WR . . . .

Yeah, KC is getting a discount right now with Hill and Hunt, and Watkins' money is just deferred til next year. Doesn't mean they're a better team than they were last year though.
