This is NOT a for or against keeping Watkins post. My hope is that the Rams keep him.
It's a WHAT IF post.
What if the Rams don't get Watkins signed (and I think it is 60/40 Watkins is gone)? How do they approach replacing his reps?
I think they'll go to the FA market, and I think they'll do it day 1. They can't afford to dink around with Sammy.
My hunch is that the Rams have laid their more or less best/final deal on the table and now Sammy and his agent want to see if they can do better.
But if you're the Rams, do you then cede control of that position to a player agent? I don't think so.
I think the Rams will make a move within a day or two of the start of FA; either another of these lower draft pick for a player deals or signing a FA WR. No way they wait patiently for Sammy to make up his mind. No way they count on getting a replacement in the draft. I also am highly doubtful that they're ready to turn the position over to Reynolds.
