The Chiefs have reached an agreement with Sammy Watkins on a new 1-year deal that will pay him a base of $9m for 2020 with an incentive package that can reach $16m, a source tells me.
The move creates $5m in cap space for the Chiefs to operate this offseason.

That's ironman shit right there. I'd love to keep him another year at least.
I wanna bring the whole fucking band back, baby! [Reply]
The more I think about this Sammy Watkins deal, the more I like it: - Mecole gets another year of development - #Chiefs get $5M in cap relief for ‘20 - If Sammy *doesn’t* hit incentives, more cap relief in ‘21 - If Sammy *does* hit incentives, likely comp pick in ‘22 https://t.co/nmSSeQd9iy
Keeping Sammy Watkins was a priority for the #Chiefs. They’ve also talked contract with Chris Jones (but no offers yet) and Patrick Mahomes’ megadeal is still likely to come after he draft. @nflnetwork@NFLTotalAccesspic.twitter.com/oQsmHnAZR9

Excellent. I believe Sammy wants and has something to prove.
What was it, 4 TDs in the season opener and not another TD the rest of the regular season?
I expect that stat will motivate Sammy [Reply]
I have a question on the incentives piece of this deal. Does that $6 million have to be figured into the equation for this year in case he reaches those incentives? Because if he does reach them, that $6 million is part of the 2020 cap, correct? [Reply]

I am not sure if this still applies with the new 2020 CBA

Player incentives are considered "likely to be earned" (LTBE) or "not likely to be earned" (NLTBE) based on the player or team's prior-year performance. For example, if a player has a $500,000 incentive for accumulating 10 sacks in the upcoming season and he had 10 sacks the previous season, the incentive is considered LTBE. If he did not record 10 sacks in the previous season, the incentive is considered NLTBE. Except in certain circumstances, LTBE incentives count against the team's salary cap in the current season, and NLTBE incentives do not count against a team's current year's cap. Except in rare cases, unearned LTBE incentives are credited to the following season's salary cap, while earned NLTBE incentives are charged against the following season's salary cap.
