RaidersAreOne Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I would welcome him with open arms on the Raiders. He definitely is worth the "risk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Quinn and Ogletree I would said 20%, but with those moves you have to think they are going to make him an offer closer to (but not over) what the market will give him. I think the market will give him 13-15mil and we offer him 12, with a high amount guaranteed. Could be enough to keep him. 45% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Bears fan I hope that we throw a bunch of $$$ at him, but as a football fan I don't think your offense needs him. You were the #1 scoring offense in the NFL last season, and he was 5th on your team in touches. I haven't dug too deep into your offense but if you only want to use him as a deep threat, you're much better off saving money and going after Paul Richardson or Taylor Gabriel (or anyone that is a legitimate deep threat). That opens up so much of McVay's offense. An offense like what I am anticipating Nagy/Helfrich to put together is going to use someone like Watkins a lot more like how he was utilized at Clemson, which I think should make him happy and hopefully make us happy.

The BILLievers Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 A ton of potential but not sure if he'll ever get there. Whatever team signs him, will get a potential true #1 WR threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Some musings that Robinson and Watkins will get "prove it" deals that will be front loaded. Curious what kind of numbers that entails... 1 year, $10 million with incentives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballimore Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 He’s worth 10/10.5M a year. He’s going to get about 11.5/12M a year. I hope the Ravens can get him for 3 years, 30M. But that’s probably unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Bears have the worst WR corps in the league, maybe even in the last 5 years if I'm being honest, so I don't care if they give him Davante Adams' contract.

bigbadbuff23835 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 It’s funny as hell that he’s exactly what Buffalo needs right now. He was shipped because of money discrepancy but still hilarious. Come back home Sammy. We will give you a nice 4/32 contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon Ducks Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 4 years $30 million. Take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w4rrior723 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 He's an explosive and dynamic playmaker that makes plays when he's on the field. His only real issue is that he has trouble staying on the field. Granted, that is a big issue. But I could easily see him getting an incentivized contract in the 8-10m/year range. I could see him getting 12m... And playing up to it if he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to think his agent, if he's worth a damn, is trumpeting those facts hoping someone takes the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
