I still can't get over how dumb these guys must be to offer Watkins presumably 14-15 million, if not the full 16 that the Chiefs offered. Even with Dez in decline I'd rather have him over Watkins, and you're going to give Watkins a brand new 3/48 deal while Dez only has 2/32 left on his?
What?
And I'm not even going to get into how much of a better value Hurns is than Watkins, there is no way that Watkins is worth more than twice what Hurns is. Their statistical production is more or less the same over 4 years in the league, both have injury concerns, and that's with Watkins having a year in an explosive Rams offense while Hurns languished in Jacksonville all 4 years.
I have no problem with the strategy of cutting Dez, adding a few mid-tier free agents and drafting a WR high, but going after Watkins that hard will always be ridiculous to me.
