Ehh.
Watkins was the #1 rated guy on their FA board. I can appreciate going and getting the guy who you believe can be the biggest difference maker.
Let’s just pretend for a second that they didn’t sign Watkins. Who are you going to give contracts to that can make the same or greater impact than he potentially can?
If they had given Lotulelei his $10M per year or gave Malcolm Butler or Trumaine Johnson their $13-15M per year, that’s a far worse option in my opinion.
