It probably won't be $12-14M/year but it could be. It 100% absolutely will not be close to $5M/year like you suggested. Somewhere between $8M and $12M is most likely.

Even if it were 6-8 million he will get a significant part of that as guaranteed money to take less overall. It usually is either more total money and less guaranteed money or less risk through more guaranteed money if the total amount is less. Watkins benefits from less quality competition and increased demand for plug and play receivers.

That is the beauty of Smith. No guaranteed money and room to negotiate an ever more cap friendly deal if need be to free up some more cap space.

We could do that too for sure. I do think $5M is more than ideal for Smith but if he fits with Cam better than Ginn did, which dare I say may be likely, he'd be well worth that amount. To get that number down by giving him some guarantees would just be an added benefit. 

Your thread is excellent.  I literally was reading it thinking it was something I posted and forgot.  Not that I am smart, but I know you are pretty reasonable and very knowledgeable.   This is an excellent move, and as Untouchable states, we do not threaten our 2019 comp picks.

"more than five" i'm guessing reading comprehension isn't your strong suite. Learn to read before making a fool of yourself

Yes so that pretty much makes your comparison a non comparison...

ginn was 1.7 million dollars.

torrey smith is 1.2+ million more than ginn's contract from the saints, plus we had to lose corner depth.

hard to compare.

Mental disabilities? Coming from a guy(?) that calls people names in ever post? Funny.

Understanding how markets work, you would know Watkins will get close to that 12-14, looking at all the teams available cap but you spend more time name calling to trying to understand things, so carry on tough guy.
