Like the way Dieter put it. Heavy with incentives. Most players worth their weight over estimate their talent. Don't forget there is always injury concerns with Sammy. I think he still has some proving to do.

Proving to do.........for us.

My guess in the crazy free agency market his value will go higher than ours (fans)

We will see soon enough.

I wouldn’t rule out Cleveland. With all the $$ they spent they still have plenty of cap room. Reunite Sammy and Tyrod

[ramsman34]

There are other options on our team and in F/A - Reynolds, P. Richardson, Gabriel (Falcons) who all offer the deep speed Sammy has which was used to clear out for other underneath routes. Are they as good? Can’t say with Reynolds, probably with Richardson, maybe with Gabriel. Even if slightly less talented, the receiving group as a whole - Sammy or no Sammy will be better. Can’t over pay him. Just can’t. Too many big $ deals still need to be made this year and the near future.

I really want to see Watkins in horns after a full camp. So as DB and Legends aptly noted, give him huge incentives and let's see what he can do. Say 2 years. If he kills it, the sign him to finish out his productive years + 1 here.

Incentives vs guarantees.

I know which way I would lean in this profession.

But I do so like what you are thinking.

Problem is the market. No matter what we think you just need one team that sees it differently. The market for very good 2nd tier (ie. not the elite of the elite) WRs was set last year at around 13-14 M, which most likely means it will be higher this year by a certain percentage. Talking about guys like Jeffrey and Adams. People keep saying this market has both a lot of teams with cap space in it, and not a great crop in terms of FA talent. Right there, that's a formula for higher contracts. That means if the Rams want Watkins, they will have to pay him something in the market range.

Something else stands out with all this. Woods was a bargain last year. Very shrewd on the Rams part.

Good post.

This level of money is crazy.

We do have shrewd though.

Maybe the key to NFL success.
