Can you tell us that one story you used to tell, you know the one where Sammy is on a parallel track with Julio Jones and that how any day/month/year now he's going to be just as good. 

 

 

 

 

We could use both those players.   Hopefully they do tag Sammy, I would imagine they would have to get rid of at least one of those players.

 

Man I'd love to have Robert Quinn. Would fix a lot of issues. There is a minimal dead cap if they cut him now. He's probably fairly replaceable in Wade's scheme and would be a perfect fit here.

The thread title doesn't say expected. 

If Rams franchise Watkins.......Watkins should sign that contract before it stops printing out on the fax machine.

Franchise tag?  Really?

 

I really didn’t think they give him that kind of money. Especially with how Kupp performed

Kupp is decent (a solid JAG), but Goff is overly reliant on him — he looks his way too often in tight-game situations.  As Watkins, who is a LOT better, gets integrated into the offense, I expect his numbers will go up and Kupp’s will go down.

He’s been my dude since the lead up to that draft. He checks every box and then some.

I will be shocked if the Rams give Sammy the Franchise tag.  He is not worth anywhere near that amount.

 

My guess: this noise is coming from Sammy and his agent in an attempt to set a high floor for potential contract offers.  

 

I understand the Rams paid a healthy price for Sammy, but there is no way they watch the film from this yr. And think to themselves this guy deserves $15+ million.

 

Not going to happen.

Because he's good, draws coverages and makes everything easier for other players on that offense.

 

but do the Rams know about offense?  Bitter Bills fans know more. Who needs 8 tds?  We had plenty of offense on Sunday! Let's laugh at the Rams (highest scoring offense) for spending money on that bum Sammy!!! Let's laugh at the Pats and stupid BElichick spending money on Gilmore!!! Bunch of morons!

 

Don’t get snooty with me, Patricia.  I merely offered the opinion that the ~16 million franchise tag price might be more than Watkins is worth.

 

Look at my posting history, Biff.  I’ve never bashed SW.  I think he is good.  I don’t think he is top 5.   Not even close.  So go do some breathing exercises, take a bong hit, and light a candle.

 

Peace and love.

Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer 

Rams GM Les Snead, on Sammy Watkins continuing to grow in this offense: "That's a goal of ours."

If that is a "goal", then they will have to pay a hefty price to keep him.

Just imagine the PR mess it would be if they let Watkins walk after losing Gaines and a 2nd rounder.

 

 

Do your honestly think any Ram fan thought about Gaines once during the season?

It's nothing against Gaine. HEs solid.  But getting Sammy for a guy who was going to be their 3rd or 4th cb and a low 2nd rounder isn't a high price to pay.  Despite people pretending like it didn't, it completely opened up their offense and I firmly believe Sammy helps us win the Panthers and possibly Jags game.

 

besides McCoy, we had zero players who scared defenses.

Is the tag number higher than the fifth year option would’ve been, does anyone know? 

Tag is higher. The fifth year option would’ve been 13.26 million for Watkins, and the franchise tag is 

16.2 million in 2018.

So wouldn't Rams use the fifth year option instead?  Cheaper

No because we declined his 5th year option then shipped him out. The option is no longer available
