But it also wouldn't surprise me if the Rams were offering less than he can get on the market, and he takes the bigger offer.

Absolutely.

He will do what is best for him. As he should.

I do hope that’s Rams. But prepared to see it isn’t.

Just not to the damn Niners please.

please not to the 9'rs....

i've already posted on another thread that the rams need to sign sammy...

last years numbers are meaningless to me.. what i saw when he was used, showed me that this guy is an alpha male, and is worth the price...

sign him on a one year deal if we have to...

otherwise get him on a long term reasonable deal...

he is worth it... period...

go rams

sign him on a one year deal if we have to...

But see that's the thing. Why would he sign a one-year deal with the Rams when other teams are offering him lucrative long term deals.

They have no leverage. Either he likes the offer compared to other offers, or, he walks.

And in fact I have rarely seen FAs test the market and then come back. Usually what happens is that a team that loves him signs him before he leaves. If the Rams didn't want SW on the market, they would have to have already offered a deal he can accept.

Give him 2, guarantee the first, incentivize the crap out of it and let's go play ball.

If any of our own FA's go up north to either NFC team (90% being the 9'ers) I will be extremely bummed.

The site won't let me copy and paste the brief article, so you have to go to the site to read what they wrote.

Agreed. Only chance he comes back is if the market is less than what the Rams offered or he feels he can get a solid 1 year deal, blow up in 2018 and max out next year in free agency.
That said, I’d be putting my Watkins Jersey in moth balls right now if i own d one

I wouldn't worry too much if we let him walk. Offer him a team friendly deal and if he says no its ok. Sure giving up the draft pick for him last season will sting a bit but Sammy has shown he's not the type of undisputed number 1 that we have to bring back at all costs.

I think we will see more TE play from Sean Mcvay this season than last season and along with Cooper Kupp's maturation, bit more work for Woods and Reynolds and I think his loss can be mitigated.

I would try to find a stud WR in the draft.
