Lionel Hutz Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Impressive that he managed to stay healthy for a whole season. It’s a shame he hasn’t lived up to his potential. I’ll always root for him, unless he plays for NE or MIA. Edited January 7, 2018 by Lionel Hutz

Will just be interesting to see because he was drafted top 5 and some general managers may overpay for those odd flashes of brilliance 3 minutes ago, /dev/null said: anybody who pays more for watkins deserves what they don't get I agree
njbuff Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Even the officials won't give him the benefit of the doubt because of his lack of heart. He got mugged by Jones in a he end zone, but still didn't get the call. I think he will be Landry's replacement in Miami though.
Doc Brown Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 It only takes one out of 32 teams to overpay for him. With a lot of new young quarterbacks who coaches will be desperate to provide weapons to he may sign a longer deal and make more money than you think. Or the Pats sign him to a one year prove it deal that they always seem to convince free agents to accept.

beerme1 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Well if you're the Rams you have to sign him. Right? GM answering to the owner as to why he gave up so much for a dud or decoy. Wish I had ears for that meeting. Sammy wasn't targeted tonight and when he was and couldn't make a play Chris Collinsworth railed on him. Said something like he should have turned back and put his hands out .... but didn't. It seemed pretty legit criticism and now some GM has to decide to pay him how many millions lol. Maybe he'll come back on a home town discount. I kid.

Incredibly he is 24 years old and won't be 25 for six months. I wouldn't doubt if someone gives him a huge contract compared to what people are predicting, without a huge signing bonus so they can get out of it after a year or two.

Yup- its both hard to guess what offers he will see AND what he will prioritize. Highest possible average? Highest total? A safer deal with high guarantees but lower pay? Best qb? He could get a wiiiide variety of structures offered, and we likely ever truly see 1-2 and assume the rest. Some players are easy to peg but this ones a wild card. Edited January 7, 2018 by NoSaint

Sammy wasn't targeted tonight and when he was and couldn't make a play I don't see how they can bring him back for the money Watkins will most likely expect. Woods makes a good bit of change. And Goff loves Kupp. Those two have a connection. One could argue Sammy showing up in the middle of pre-season caused the lack of targets/consistent production and with a full off-season with Goff would turn into the number one guy... I think Watkins would be better off looking for greener pastures. And the Rams would be better off letting him find them, although giving up Gaines and that 2nd would be a mark against the GM. I just can't see them paying Watkins and Woods because Gurley has to get extended sooner than later as well, not to mention Aaron Donald needs it right now.
Fadingpain Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Watkins is made of 20% hair, 20% muscle and sinew, and 60% unrealized potential.
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I think people forget Robert Woods got a 5 year 34M deal, 5M base salary and 3M roster bonus, 8 M cap hit. 15M gauranteed. so I'll say Sammy goes for 10M base salary, 6M roster bonus for a 16M cap hit, 25M gauranteed and there is not a chance that the Rams won't resign him.
Coach Tuesday Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 SF, Baltimore, NO, Jets, Lions, KC, Dallas, AZ, Chicago, Tennessee, Houston. The Jets have something like $100M to spend this offseason, need receivers and need to make a splash. Miami already has Stills to run deep routes (and Tannyhill doesn’t throw deep anyhow), and NE has Cooks (although I bet BB likes Sammy more than folks here think). Someone will give him a monster contract, I have no doubt.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I think he is looking for Steph Curry Money 1
Malazan Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 I think he gets a 2-3 years deal for about 8AAV. He'll be overpaid at that amount, but NFL teams always think they can turn these guys around and have a superstar. I can't see Watkins signing a 1 year 'prove-it' deal. The risk of injury is too great and if he has a second season like this one..well, he'll be trying to make a roster somewhere.

He won't go hungry and he'll have no trouble finding work, but I don't think his rep around the league warrants a big, monster contract.
