I find it hard to believe he will resign there as it appears he is unhappy with his usage there so far. Would you want the bills to try to sign him in the off-season?  You know the Pats will try to sign him for sure, to play opposite Cooks. It would be crazy to see Benjamin and Watkins on the field together.

Don't title your post like that. This is a prediction based on no evidence.

With the departure of Darby, Sammy and Dareus, it appears McDermott has assembled a chemistry rich team of hard workers, team mates, with similar "player dna". To even think McDermott would revisit the Sammy Watkins pre-Madonna type player is far fetched.

Unless he catches fire like he did during the second half of the 2015 season, he's probably going to be a tad disappointed once he sees the offers he gets in free agency. I'm sure he believes he's worth a big money contract but, like I said, unless he lights it up over these final eight games, he may end up signing a one-year "prove it" deal somewhere. I believe the primary reason in trading him stemmed from the belief that he would likely not re-sign here after not having his 5th year option picked up so they pulled off the trade in order to get something for him rather than watching him walk next March. I know he recently said he didn't have his head in the right place while he was here, he admitted to being bummed about his numbers even in games they won. Despite that, he said some good things during his time here and it felt like he was emerging as a leader. He wasn't afraid to speak up and he said at one point if guys weren't buying in they needed to go. And I can't blame him for speaking up about his lack of targets. I mean, who uses a player like that as a decoy? Not sure what's keeping him from being more involved in LA but the dude is still young and could very well realize all that potential.

He will look to get big money and his production does not indicate he should get it.  Personally, I think he is more hype than reality and the Bills will not be among the teams interested in pursuing him.

 

Got to agree with this. They dumped him for a reason. I doubt they will want him back. Does not seem to be the "team player" type that Bean and McD are looking for.

There may be a better chance for him to resign than re-sign. 

He resigned from his little job to re-sign with his big job?

misleading title

Even Nostradamus left himself some wiggle room. There’s an art to this stuff! 

 

They gave up a lot for a one year rental. It looks like they may have painted themselves into a corner. That’s the way I saw it from the beginning.

Watkins could have a big second half of the season and get a big long-term contract but right now he is probably looking at a 1 year $7M-$8M type prove-it deal like Terrell Pryor got in Washington.   In that case I'd LOVE to have him back at the X position opposite Benjamin and Zay Jones for a season.   Highly unlikely, but I'd love to see it.

 

He is serving a purpose in LA.......people laugh at the decoy stuff but when Watkins is covered by Richard Sherman or Josh Norman that makes Bob Woods and Cooper Kupp look A LOT better in their matchups against much lesser CB's.     They can't pay $12M-$15M per year for that but with him the Rams offense has been ridiculous.........Watkins is the deep threat and the WR's and TE's are running so wide open underneath that they just rarely need to take long shots.   I watched the game against the Giants and Goff only looked his way a few times the entire game.   The Rams may be the luckiest team in terms of running into teams that are half-in quit mode too.........the Giants just dogassed that entire game.....McAdoo is f*cked.

I'm sure they'll win or lose, without him. no need to keep hanging on to hopes of a player that will never be in a bills uniform again. time to move on
