what the market says Watkins is worth.
We keep looking at value based on last year's cap situation.
Well folks, that situation is ancient history.
Watkins will benefit from many things...
1) Over $1 billion in cap space throughout the league
2) An increase in the cap
3) Contracts rise year after year
4) A weaker draft and free agency class
To compare Watkins contract to Woods for example, is old news. Woods, if he was a FA this year not last, would be getting more than he did last year. Then...take into quality in free agency and the draft, and then you look at "what Watkins is worth." Supply and demand, as usual, rears its ugly head.
