or the the rams misgauging the market for him? Schefter said the contract is worth $80 million over the five years – or $16 million per year – which ties Cooks at No. 4 among the highest-paid receivers in the NFL. were the rams not willing to pay watskins that amount for some reason? did they misread the market for sammy? did sammy just not want to be in la? did he not hit it off with goff? is it just that kc gave him more guaranteed money? we may never really know buts its interest ting that watkins walk, traded for cooks and signed then him to a similar contract.
