Sammy Watkins will officially be back

[carcosa]

The Chiefs have reached an agreement with Sammy Watkins on a new 1-year deal that will pay him a base of $9m for 2020 with an incentive package that can reach $16m, a source tells me.

The move creates $5m in cap space for the Chiefs to operate this offseason.

Watkins and the Chiefs have agreed on a new deal that will pay him a base salary of $9 million this season, offer him the opportunity to earn another $7 million worth of incentives, and most importantly shave $5 million off his 2020 cap number, according to Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports.

I still think Mecole Hardman will start over him or at least take a lot more reps and we will have fresh legs for four quarters.

Mecole is also a valued kick returner but we have Pringle that i think can take that role if Mecole gets significant playing time as WR.


I think each year we will target a WR in later rounds and keep re-loaded in that position.


I like the incentive package so hopefully Watkins will ball out like he did his first game here but more consistent than one big catch a game the rest of the year.

We have a QB that can and will hit anyone at anytime and with Hill drawing so much attention they're gonna be tough to stop again next season barring injury.

We're in the apex of Chiefs fandom.

There I was, minding my own business posting on Chiefsplanet when I heard a knock on the door. As I was not expecting visitors and just finished showering I answered in my bathrobe with nothing on underneath.

Upon opening the door and to my surprise I was greeted by two young, supple, voluptuous, college girls, one blonde the other brunette who lost their dog and wanted to know if I've seen him.

As they were visibly upset I invited them in and offered them a drink...

Were you a Sophomore attending a large Midwestern university while thinking nothing like that would ever happen to you?

Hardman may get some more playing time, but if Watkins can stay healthy, he is the starter.

Very good. We still need some more cap room. What will be the next move?

Hardman is not going to start over Watkins. Pringle would have a better shot at becoming the WR2 over Hardman going into 2020-2021.

Mecole took 12-15 snaps per game last year. Suddenly he's a starting WR? Btw, it took Tyreek 3 years to become fluent in Andy's offense, and he started off as a better WR than Hardman.

Considering his almost complete lack of experience as a WR coming out of the draft, Hardman was a project WR, and it's going to take at least another year before he could possibly slide into the WR2 spot.

Using Tyreek's trajectory as a guide, Hardman will likely see 15-20 snaps a game this season.

Good

On one hand I'm glad he's back, on the other I'm disappointed that we are still paying him what we are. Wonder what 2021 costs us and how much we can save if we cut him?
