After paying Tavon on “potential” instead of production...
After paying TruJo back to back franchise tag contracts for “pretty good” results...
Time to get better bang for their cap buck in the future, if you ask me.
Demoff will sign Watkins up to and including a very large number if S&M insist. I’m hoping and praying that S&M are smart enough not to insist on a number beyond, say, $10 million per. Rams must run lean in this SB window as they prepare for other needed FA’s right now and looming monster contracts coming up annually.
I would favor a bridge type contract for Watkins, however. It would provide advantages for both parties short term and leave the door open for a huge contract for Watkins thereafter IF he earns it.
