About Davante Adams, dz.
I agree that he is a tier 2 WR.
Here are his salary terms. [

Two things:
First, like my mama used to tell me, two wrongs don’t make a right. Meaning that perhaps the Packers overpaid for Adams? Why should the Rams do the same?
Second, many here were favoring tagging Watkins. That’s in excess of $16 million for a one year rental. So, that’s where I was coming from when I spoke of elite money. Average of top 5 WR salaries in the league? Oh, hell no.
Look, I’ve got questions about Watkins. I’m far from all in on him as a complete WR. Learning the playbook, reading proficiency, needing Kupp to tell him where to go, etc. And there’s a nagging question in the back of my mind. Why weren’t Watkins and Goff on the same page all the time? Why did Goff seem to not trust Watkins as much as he trusted the other receivers?
If the rumored 1-2 year prove it contract that the Rams are offering is true and can be completed? Well, that should be ample opportunity for Watkins to win me over. If he becomes elite then I would be more than happy to give him an elite type contract. But first, he has to win me over. Otherwise, I prefer to let his 3rd team in 5 years take on the risk.
