Chiefs Sammy Watkins sounds like he [might] play. - Page 25

Chiefs likely will have running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire but be without Le'Veon Bell for today’s AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, per source.

Additionally, the Chiefs will test WR Sammy Watkins pregame, but don’t sound optimistic he will play today.

This is the same thing. Why do I care how much a player makes as long as the team wins.

Because it’s harder to win when players are getting paid out of whack.

I imagine a guy like Marvin Jones Jr. is also out of our price range too, but would be be a suitable replacement for Sammy?

Clearly Watkins contact hasn't caused a problem in that sense so far.

The salary of one player affects more than that one player and can lead to the team not being or being able to re-sign or sign a player. I don't know how this concept is escaping you.

How does the concept escape you that it does not matter what you think a player is worth? The only opinions that matter are Veach, Reid, and Hunt.

So far.

At some point it will become an issue, not only because of the salary but because of declining production.

He played in 10 games in 2018, 14 last year, and 10 this year.

However, this year was his lowest number of targets, receptions, yards, TD's, yards per catch, and longest play.

Did I mention he’d actually play more than 5 games a year?

Conley sucks elephant semen. No thanks.

You realize we're on a chiefs message board discussing the chiefs right?

This is a discussion board. If we're not going to have discussions, what's the point?

I fully trust Veach and Reid. If they bring Sammy back, I'm going to trust them.

That doesn't mean that I think it's a good idea as of right now.

You need to visit DC forum. Spend enough time there and you'll find opinions are not welcome...especially opposing opinions.

That is mostly the point I am trying to make. So many people here, King comes across this way to me and maybe I am wrong, that they legitimately think they know more than Veach and Reid.
