Thomas5737 5,284 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Is he willing to catch balls in the middle of the field? Seems like he tried to play away from contact, at least earlier in his career and Lamar does best with the middle of the field throws. Could be dynamic. Could be anemic. Low risk signing. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Depends on which Sammy shows up in all honesty. Half the time his injured, 1/4 of the team he will ball out in all facets, the other 1/4 you won’t even notice he’s on the field. It will be interesting to see how going to a team without another big name WR though, some of his comments from previous years pointed towards him wanting to be the top man.

Kiwibrown 5,872 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Finally sammy hits his market value. Ravens paying 6 million for two good games and 8 non existent ones and couple of average ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkippyX 2,507 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 This is a great move and a terrible move. May your team face the Ravens during the 8 games that he is hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkippyX 2,507 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I did not realize that Sammy was on the Eric Moulds train. Moulds' ypc dropped 8 years in a row. 20.4 15.3 14.1 13.5 12.9 12.2 11.9 10.1 9.8 Watkins is going on year 6 17.5 15.4 15.2 13.0 12.9 11.4 ??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That seems to happen a lot, gotta look at the catch percentage too. He was 55% his first 4 years and 65% the past 3 years. Obviously his role has changed and he is less of a deep threat now but catches a higher percentage of targets because they are less aggressive throws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AFlaccoSeagulls 6,294 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I will not complain whatsoever over a 1-year/$5M deal for a clear upgrade at our WR2 position. It's still a glaring hole to fill via the draft, but at least he's better than Miles Boykin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

43M 5,420 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Solid signing for the Ravens, but they should still get another one early in the draft. Cant depend on him and Id be shocked if he stays a Raven beyond 2021. I feel like Watkins will bounce around on a series of 1 year deals and retire by 30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigbadbuff 1,972 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Oh Sammy, I’ll never forget him being my favorite Bills pick ever at the time. So so so disappointing. I really thought he was going to be a top 5 wide receiver for a decade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tk3 2,365 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 14 hours ago, berlin calling said: shouldve kept Snead iyam. I disagree completely Watkins is definitely an upgrade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Reed 1,353 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think we still need a WR in the first 2-3 rounds but Hollywood/Watkins/High-ish rookie should be an upgrade over Hollywood/Boykin/Snead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
