The Rams were clearly not happy with Watkins so I would go with their behind the scenes look at him.
Buffalo gave him up.
Rams picked him up. Goff clearly didn't trust him. McVay clearly didn't trust him. Rams made little effort in retaining him.
Rams pay up to get another receiver.
That is the Sammy Watkins story thus far. There is something that we don't know. It's not just the lack of stats. It's not just his perceived lack of effort in fighting for balls. It's the story that we can't read too. There is too many question marks and only one variable. It's Sammy. Whether he still has planting issues with his foot (past injuries), doesn't put in the work during an individual play, game or in the film room or maybe he just isn't as good as we want him to be there is something amiss.
Yeah they were so unhappy that McVay tried to the bitter end to keep him, but got outbid!
Buffalo gave up Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin too, how does that look?
Buffalo is your benchmark?? LOL
They tried to the last minute to keep him? I'm dying here. Sorry man, but if the Rams want someone they go get them. Nothing about the way the Rams are running things currently agree with that statement. Close the book bro.
Try doing some research the answer will resuscitate you!.
Yeah they got both Peters and Talib for bargains...I wonder why?
As a corporate investigator I've learned to close my eyes and plug my ears when it comes to words. That goes doubly when it's purpose is to be consumed by media and then translated to the public.
Dig deeper and look at the whole body of work. Look at the stuff said throughout the tenure. Look at the stuff said about the other players. Look at the actual facts. The only facts that cannot be manipulated was that he is not a Ram. He was not used like we all thought a number one would be used. Now build the real picture. I'm sure anyone would want Sammy Watkins. But considering how they used him do you really think they valued him enough to justify paying him anywhere close to what Sammy got? There is a direct link between their use and their dallar value on said use. Clearly they did not align so that is where the want versus need ended.
Sammy was not valued enough to justify a franchise tag. Sammy was subsequently replaced and they paid up handsomely to replace him. The research is in the facts. Words are a pacifier in this business.
