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.

Buckweath · 03-13-2018, 07:02 AM

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.

All In · 03-13-2018, 07:03 AM

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

Mecca · 03-13-2018, 07:03 AM

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.

Veach either 1- Ate up most of the Chiefs' cap space (roughly around 26 m) with two signings (reported 25 m AAV) or 2- pushed a huge amount of money to the next two years for two guys, and is still likely paying 2/3 AAV this year (roughly 17 m). With such a huge chunk going to a WR and alot of worries still on D that you can't necessarily rely on 3rd round picks to fix, there is some room for concern.

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.

Because it’s dumb to pay a guy that much who hasn’t done much.

Lol the team isn't done yet. They are hot after some really good olayers, so they obviously have room.
