Dr. Who Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Typical Bills move would be to keep him and let him walk via free agency. How many past first round picks have we traded in their last year of their contract to back up your claim? You get that they could franchise him? Dumb idea -- and for a second. All this based on a rumor from a rugby site. If true, I lose all my cautious optimism that this new front office might have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He's not going anywhere. Watkins is a future star in this league. He's shown flashes and has played in more games through 3 years than Julio did. His game is complete. He is 23 years old!! You build around guys like that.

BringBackOrton Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Go look at Julio Jones stats the first 3 years in the league and the comparisons are startling...nearly identical numbers and the same foot injury... The comp falls short when you realize Sammy needs to catch 100 balls, put up 1600 yards, and catch 6 TD's this year. There's never any takers on those numbers being identical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, but apparently he is injury prone and we can be sure he will never be healthy and stay on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 How? Don't trade him, let him earn a pay day next year and pay him or franchise him. If he bitches and mopes about being here then fine his ass until he shows. Letting the player hold all the cards is what this franchise has done so many times throughout the drought. It's pathetic. The franchise tag number for a wr in 2018 will be roughly 16m bucks. It would guarantee he stays here one more year and nothing more. If they were going to do that they might as well have just picked up his option. What good does it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to do that they might as well have just picked up his option. What good does it do? If he puts up good numbers for two years in a row, maybe he decides staying in Buffalo is not a bad idea. Then again, I would have picked up his option.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 This, but apparently he is injury prone and we can be sure he will never be healthy and stay on the field. TSW foot doctors have declared it with full access to the medical information so there's no reason to question it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 TSW foot doctors have declared it with full access to the medical information so there's no reason to question it. Well, since it's been decided, I guess that's that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Well, since it's been decided, I guess that's that! Well yes. Beyond that, any professional athlete with a Jones fracture surgery has to retire and have their foot amputated. Zero successful comebacks.

Dr. Who Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) TSW foot doctors have declared it with full access to the medical information so there's no reason to question it. If Sammy has debilitating injuries that one cannot effectively recover from, he will have no trade value. I see no reason to suspect such. You probably surmised, but just to be clear, I was being sarcastic. I am strongly in the keep Sammy camp. Edited May 28, 2017 by Dr. Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 If we're 0-4, and the tank job is then on, I wouldn't be surprised if Watkins gets moved. We could possibly get a 1st from a team who looks to be in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that if this team starts off 0-4 and they decide to throw the towel in then I wouldn't be surprised if they move Sammy before the trade deadline.

If we were going to truly tank it we would not have restructured TT.......signed guys like the LB last week....etc etc It looks to me like the team is playing to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team throws in the towel four games into a season. Not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
