It's more on potential than production, but that kind of thing happens when you're the #1 guy in F.A. at your position sometimes. Good luck to Sammy, except when he plays us.

Mr. WEO Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Just now, 26CornerBlitz said: Because Mahomes is a better deep ball passer than Goff. He is? I must have missed that last year. Goff had YPA of 8 last year and 66 of his 296 completions went for 20+ yards. And is Sammy only useful with the "deep ball"?

HappyDays Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 This is exactly why we traded him last year. Some team was always going to overpay. FWIW a lot of Chiefs fans on Twitter hate the deal and are more concerned about their defense.

You “promised” he wouldn’t get $14M AAV unless it was a 1 year deal. You “guaranteed” he wouldn’t get between $13M (Alshon) & $16M (Hopkins) AAV. You said that teams view Alshon as 1000x better. We all have opinions but they must be owned when you are WAY wrong. You aren’t alone. It just happened to be in that one thread and that’s why I linked it. If you were to go to the other Watkins threads you will see a ton of predictions that are way off. I just said I was shocked. I was wrong. Do you want to !@#$ my wife now too? 3
Mrbojanglezs Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 With the money FAs are getting once you have to pay a QB you are shot. You have to accumulate picks and keep drafting good cheap players. Only teams that can afford big FAs are teams without QBs or with good cheap rookie deal QBs

Hopefully Beane drafts the right QB, I'd like to see him stay here long term. Yeah, Beane has just stacked up good moves. He's really impressive so far. 1
Bray Wyatt Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 As Thurman said, they are paying for potential and not what he has actually done. I still dont see how he justifies that contract when they have Kelce, Hill and Hunt to get the ball to as well.

Bills and Rams could both get decent picks for one year rentals in that deal. The Bills played it we'll, especially because they knew they weren't going to pony up this kind if money to keep him, but I doubt the Rams are too upset either.

Maybe it’s best we never find out. Haha. He's got Mahomes throwing to him so we won't know for at least 3 years when he leaves to get his next deal. 41 minutes ago, BuffaloRush said: Mahomes might be the best deep ball passer in the NFL Based on what? Arm strength?
Jasovon Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I literally predicted 15 mil a year for Sammy yesterday talking to a buddy. Sammy is now the 3rd highest paid WR in the league behind only Brown and Hopkins. No way he is worth that.

Just more fodder for my cannon when people cry about being "close to the cap" or "not having any money to sign FAs" (well, that wont be an issue anyway for the bills for many, many years now) Being in cap hell doesn't necessarily mean you can't get out of it by cutting / trading guys. Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. The fact that they wanted Smith gone was huge for them in clearing out space. That saved them $16 mill in cap space this year for a guy they wanted to clear out anyway. The Chiefs were in a great position to clear space. Some teams aren't. Depends on the contracts and what year the player is in and dead money and so on. But I'm with you that that won't be an issue for the Bills after this year for a long time. The new administration are a financially conservative bunch. I love it.

BadLandsMeanie Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 No Wonder KC are always runner up. How stupid can you be?
Yav Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 59 minutes ago, FeelingOnYouboty said: Patrick Mahomes now has Watkins, Hill, Hunt, Kelce. SPICY! 1. It's Mahomes, so really who cares? 2. Kelce is a jackass and gets kicked out of games 3. Watkins will get hurt and miss at least 8 games 4. KC might be a wild card team, but they will loose in the first round (as usual).
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Hill is loving this. Got a brand new shiny decoy!! 1
Jasovon Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Once again McBeane look like geniuses, we got a 2nd and a 3rd for Tyrod and Sammy guys that old regimes would have let walk or just flat out cut.

Very Fung Schway The real oddity is that KC persuaded the Bills to pass on both Watson and Mahomes(Whaley reportedly wanted to draft the QB not trade the pick).................and that was the beginning of the "process" that lead to the Bills top WR Sammy Watkins falling into their lap 10 months later. Basically the REVERSE of the Bills stupidly trading with KC instead of Houston and ending up with the 22nd pick instead of the 4th pick. I will say this much..........thankfully Beane is a lot better at making trades than McD. McD got fleeced by his mentor.
