Watkins is key here because you are correct he comes up with some big 3rd down plays to move the chains. When Sammy is healthy no one can cover him just like Tyreek and he has the "best first move" in avoiding a tackle right after a catch that I have ever seen. So elusive after the catch.

How many times in that video did they say the phrase "Watkins is wide open!" The guy is a great safety valve for Mahomes and always seems to find the soft spot in defenses. |

What I really don't understand is how Watkins isn't more productive in the red zone.
He is letter perfect for what this offense does in close. And he's so physical both in his routes and with the ball in his hands. I'm really surprised we haven't made him a more central part of our red zone packages. Have we ever seen him lining up in the backfield? You could do some really creative shit with him coming out on wheel routes, especially if you do something crazy like put Williams out in the pattern. They're gonna have their respective matchups based on who they see in the huddle but then if you split Williams out wide (let's you bunch left with Kelce split wide right, then motion Williams to Kelce's side and bring Watkins into the backfield), you're gonna throw off their coverages. He's just such a physical guy that if you can hit him on a quick swing pass out of the backfield, he can make one guy miss and bull his way ahead for 12+ yards doing nothing but angling towards the sticks. We'll miss him if/when we lose him because he's easily our most physical WR, but I think we underutilize him a fair amount.

Sounds like he is willing to take a pay cut and re-structure to stay with the Chiefs:

I'd like to keep him but not at the expense of Jones. So we'll see. Some tough decisions coming up soon. Hopefully the new CBA bails us out.

Can Patrick Mahomes make a guy like Pringle look like an NFL caliber WR? Yeah, probably. Can Patrick Mahomes do anything to make Khalen Saunders as impactful as Chris Jones? No, no he cannot. Your greatest force multiplier exists on the offensive side of the ball, so you're gonna have to use him to make players better than they are while using money/picks to simply keep better players on the defensive side of the ball. It's arbitrage as applied to an NFL roster.

Can't imagine the VagNiners won't be doubling Kelce and Hill most of the time. Leaves the door wide open for Sammy. Sammy needs to dominate. If he does, we win.

It’s going to have to be a steep contract decline. We’re talking an average of $11-12 million. Perhaps Clark could offer more guaranteed to sweeten that deal?
I would really like to do that for Kelce, but Sammy could be good too. Lower that cap hit and give us even more money to add to our $20+ million rollover. Then pay Chris Jones and make his cap hit $30 million. Get rid of that high cap hit early with spare cash while the rest will look like a steal. Then have Jones cap hit be around $7 million in 2021 (like Clark’s this year) and use that spare cash to pay Pat his biggest cap hit to get it over early ($45 million). It can work quite well if executed correctly

The job of Watkins and Hardman is to make defenses pay for doubling Hill and Kelce. It's important that they keep defenses honest.
