Is he a Julio Jones? ‘Cause some want to pay him like one.
Geez. He would be but one of 5 passing targets for Goff on any given play. He was last year and he will be again this year, if extended.
Honestly, is that worth $16 million? Yeah, he may have decoy value and demand coverage that helps our other receivers. But any other WR they trot out there will also demand at least one on one coverage, himself.
Ask yourselves this question. If you had never heard of Watkins, and were strictly judging him as a WR based upon what you saw last year (including the all 22), would you think that he was worth $16 million?
Especially given all the other demands from our 14 pending UFA’s?
I’m done with grossly overpaying some of our players such as Tavon and TruJo. Now that we’ve entered our playoff window we’ve got to be smarter.
