Post here. Pertinent free agent signings can still have their own thread. Anyone who replies with a Q, because something is buried in this thread should blah blah AIDS tree. [Reply]

Because Veach has someone he feels has value to our team or someone else’s. It seems he feels that either

Obviously Andy and Veach believe that Sammy is an important piece for the offense. I'd guess they know more than the average keyboard warrior fan. Except me, of course, since I've always been aware of just how important Sammy is to the offense. [Reply]
I certainly see the value in keeping Sammy. When all of our horses are healthy, it’s damn hard to keep them from scoring 35-40 points a game.
People like to throw out names like Perriman and Robby Anderson as if it would be no drop off — it would though, make no mistake. Yeah those guys are fast, but they wouldn’t be able to do nearly as well as Watkins when it comes to getting off of press coverage, running routes, and creating YAC.
Keep Patrick healthy, bring Watkins back, and you may see another 40-50 TD season from Pat. [Reply]

Well said but you either are getting better on this league or getting worse. We need defense more than Watkins. [Reply]

Well even if we cut him we are paying him 7.
He's an idiot if he doesn't want an extension. This team paid him the $$$ he wanted, but he has to look long term here, he can stay in a great situation and compete for championships if he's willing to pay for 8-10M a year.
