Sammy Watkins Is NOT Expected To Get The Franchise Tag, Alongside Allen Robinson

Based on what? He had two solid seasons in Buffalo then missed half the season in his third year and the Bills decided to trade him for a 2nd round CB largely because they were frustrated about his recurring health issues... and they really needed CB help. The Rams' offense is just a horrible fit for him.

I'm not seeing anything to indicate any attitude issues.

I would be fine with either one, but if emmanuel Sanders becomes a FA i would grab him too.

Nah we definitely can compete.

Watkins is worth the top WR money imo we can give. I hope Hurney tries for Watkins cause he'd definitely help elevate our squad.

Allen Robinson is probably unrealistic given his likely huge market, but Watkins should be a good option imo.

I’m down for Watkins but not overpaying for his services. A mid range contract should be the standard if he wants to be a Panthers and get into the playoffs!

Give me both if we don't resign Norwell. Lets give Norv a chance to dominate.

What exactly defines top WR money?  A four year vet with only one season over 1,000 yards, zero double digit TD seasons, and a perpetual attitude problem?  Watkins has disappointed every single year he's been in the league with a glimmer of hope in 2015.  I'm sure he has untapped potential, but you don't give top WR money on potential.

I don’t understand this forums obsession with Watkins besides a bunch of Clemson fans probably here. I get it, injuries and schemes, but he is literally nothing but potential. No need to pay a lot for that.

Amazing that jaguars aren't signing robinson. But, i get it since they have Cole, Westbrook, can resign hurns, and still have an amazing WR group.

We should start to hear some rumors about what WR's we are interested in the coming days.

I just hope we target at least 1 of the big names like Robinson/Watkins, if they aren't interested so be it. But at least make an effort to target a big name for once.

Saying that, I wouldn't be mad at Mike Wallace if we strike out on the big names. He would still be an upgrade over what we have, and arguably he would be our best WR.

Not amazing at all. They were 1 game away from playing in the Superbowl. They don't need Robinson.

Whats more amazing is if you're not going to use the cap space to sign allen, why in the HELL wouldn't u have signed Kirk Cousins? You do one of the other, you don't do neither.

Careful with that type of logic. We went 15-1 and went to the Super Bowl in desperate need of a RT... and an OC.

I thought they'd probably cut Allen Hurns to re-sign Robinson. Hurns has a $7M cap hit and can be released with no penalty.

Because they were 1 game away from the Superbowl. Why make a panic move and sign Cousins to a major deal?

People are going to realize real soon how overrated Kirk Cousins is once he gets his big contract. There is a reason the Redskins are letting him walk.

I could see the Saints scooping up Watkins just to mess with us.  And Norwell.

Latest reports say the Rams are deciding between tagging Sammy Watkins or Lamarcus Joyner.

 

Basically back to where we were a short time ago...

How is Joyner?

We could use one of both.
