you are paying him for (1) what he currently brings to the rams (noted by many poasters over the last few months so no need to say it again); and (2) what he will ADD to the rams in the future. Personally, I think its relevant that mcvay went into the season thinking austin would be in this role. thus he did not scheme for a guy like watkins. plus goff missed a number of deep throws that he should hit given some maturity. Given these two factors I would think watkins production would increase in year 2. your paying for future production.
Agree with a lot of that, but at what price???
What is your "let him walk" price??? Considering he was our 4th option in a very high powered offense?
If you look at Sammy's career numbers and took away the name and the draft pedigree you would think this was a middle tier FA.
It
seems he is being paid for his
potential not actual numbers....this team is going to have some tough decisions to make soon with offensive players like Goff, Gurley, Kupp, Brown, Havs so we have to be careful in how much we pay and how we structure ...
I personally want him back, but I just can't see justifying paying him twice as much as Woods.
I want him back, but at a certain price. $11.5 mil per would be the max.
