"Sammy is a big part of this offense and when he's healthy, we're better," Veach said. "If there's a way we can make it work again, we'll certainly try to do that." ESPN's Adam Teicher said the Chiefs re-signing Watkins this offseason would be a clear indication that the team does not see Mecole Hardman as an every-down wideout. Even if the Chiefs let Watkins walk, Hardman -- who ran costly incorrect routes at least twice in the team's Super Bowl loss -- wouldn't be guaranteed an every-down spot in the KC offense.
