Joyner would be a huge loss to a defense that is already hemorrhaging players.... a secondary that has added Peters but has two gaping wholes elsewhere. Wades defense is built around the secondary right?
Watkins would be a loss but if he goes I want something back for him. If he goes they have to fill that spot - so we agree there.
Soooo... franchise him. Pay him 15/16mil for one year and see what happens another year in the offense. But don't just let him bounce

We overpaid for Johnson at least that amount the last two years.
Demoff should be savvy enough to overcome $3 million.
Why wouldn't he cut Austin and use some overpayment on the franchise with Watkins?
I just don't think Joyner is a key we can't afford to lose.
With Watkins...there is a gaping hole IMO.
Bottom line...IMO...we lose Joyner...we don't go backwards on defense. We lose Watkins...we go backwards on offense.
