Early Tuesday morning, Sammy Watkins agreed to a three-year, $48MM deal with the Chiefs. Before that, Watkins had a booming market for his services. The Cowboys, Bears, Jaguars, and the incumbent Rams were among the teams in on the highly-coveted wide receiver, according to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star (on Twitter). 
Watkins served as one of the top wide receivers available as an unrestricted free agency, along with Jaguars free agent Allen Robinson. The Bears reportedly agreed to a three-year, $42MM deal Monday with Robinson, who missed nearly the entire 2017 season with a torn ACL.
Like Robinson, Watkins has been plagued by injuries at times throughout his career, missing 10 games over the last three seasons. But the explosiveness and game-changing ability shown from the former No. 4 overall pick shouldn’t make it a surprise that teams were lining up to obtain his services. Watkins was at No. 7 in Pro Football Rumors’ Top 50 Free Agents For 2018.
If Watkins were to have gone to the Cowboys, that would’ve certainly paired up a dynamic and intriguing receiving tandem alongside Dez Bryant. The Jaguars are definitely in need of a wide receiver with the departure of Robinson, along with Marqise Lee set to become an unrestricted free agent.
The Rams were hoping to retain Watkins but that move became difficult to facilitate with the additions of Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib, as well as placing the franchise tag on Lamarcus Joyner. It was reported that the Rams were deciding between Watkins and Joyner on who to give their franchise tag to.
It seems like gms are playing who can sign the worst contract, obviously going to go to whoever signs Cousins but man the details on the Star to Bills isn’t known but 5 years for a meh guy, doesn’t seem smart, Richburg not THAT bad of a deal I guess, this one 16M for an injury prone receiver I don’t dont like it
Watkins and highly coveted in same sentence??
