Give us a number, Florida.
At what top number do you see a value extension of Watkins?
It’s possible that we are on the very same page.
I'm not Florida obviously but I have some thoughts on numbers for Watkins.
It's gonna take a little more than what most seem to be comfortable with but less than what Alshon Jeffrey just got.
I suspect he ends up getting something in the $11.5M range. Something like $46M / 4 years.
But I think another strong possibility for him is signing for one year like Pryor and Jeffrey's did last year. He still has a little to prove so he may not get huge multiyear offers.
He came to the offense late which I believe is affecting his numbers and it's something he alluded to in the article.
But $8 to $9M is out the question. I just don't see that happening. Woods got that last year when he had very low stats on his resume.
I just really hope the Rams figure out a way to keep him. He's an important cog to the offense already and like NRC I don't believe we've seen the real Sammy yet in the Rams offense.
