Nice signing

Watson probably not back now I’d imagine

Totally different roles on offense and could still use both on special teams.

Said he came in as a 4/5 and was serviceable when he had to step in as the 2. Dude said he had some drops but also made some big plays.

Here’s a Giants fan who wasn’t too complimentary about those 2 fumbles in the Seahawks game. James loss another fumble in a separate game. He had 3 fumbles in 24 punt returns. As a WR he didn’t lose the ball once. Returning punts is a tough job, I think it’s even harder it you are also playing a lot of snaps on offense, my guess is that’s way Skyy Moore has his struggles. Anyway, this guy cracked me up. Some bad language in this, just a heads up:

He’s been seen around town down here. Assuming he’s from this area.

People have asked him, most say not much interest from teams unless it’s a vet minimum or close to that number and only a 1 year contract. I’m sure the Chiefs would pay that.

Yeah. Watson isn't coming back. They draft one for sure. Two if we don't end up with Hopkins or OBJ.

I see this as a depth/ST signing, nothing more. I think the real plan is for Skyy to get more playing time and one or both of the Ross's to compete for a spot. I believe Justyn just might be a hidden gem. I know, injury-prone, blah, blah, blah, but the foot injury was the only thing that kept him from being a 1st or 2nd rounder.

I’m thinking 7 WR’s are on the roster.

That seems excessive when you have 4 TEs.

1 spot is for special teams and depth if shit goes bad.

Probably overthinking it but I wonder if Toney pointed out James to the Chiefs as a potential option.

You know I actually mentioned to Toney that James would be a good fit here. I'm sure that played a part in his signing.

Another sneaky good depth addition for the Chiefs.

So who does that give us in the WR room:

Toney
MVS
Moore
James
Ross
Ross
Powell
Ealy

Hmmm.

Ealy is a running back, no?

And Quinton Johnston finishes the WR room…yah baby
