DeMarcus Robinson is another example of a guy that had supposed character concerns in the draft eval and he comes here and does nothing but work hard and contribute in any way he can and make solid friendships with teammates.
Cashing over $200k in postseason checks is less per game than regular season for a lot of players, but I am sure it is still a consideration for a free agent when deciding where to play. [Reply]
If we are releasing/trading Watkins I wouldnt be shocked if that was communicated to DRob and his agent to convince him to a one year deal for so cheap. Bet on yourself. Come back and have yourself a fricken year catching the ball from Patrick Mahomes and then go get yourself a pay day. If Watkins is released would love to see us draft a WR in the first or second as DRob is inevitably gone in 2021. [Reply]
Folks love to rag on D-Rob but imo he had two of the best games from any of our WR's when we beat Oakland and the Ravens. And with him knowing Pat and the system already this is a very good move. Just hope he continues to improve and get better. [Reply]
#Chiefs make a really smart signing here. Only $1M against the cap for a WR who knows Andy Reid's offensive system under Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs presumably won’t have OTAs this year to teach up a newcomer. KC doesn’t have much room but being smart with what it has. https://t.co/9lSjUwDTZl

Never heard of any supposed character concerns, what were they? [Reply]
Demarcus Robinson’s one-year deal is worth $2,297,500 fully guaranteed. That’s the maximum allowed to qualify for the new veteran salary benefit under the CBA. So Robinson gets guaranteed money, but only counts around $1M on the #Chiefs’ cap. https://t.co/e5REnm4Uvm
Initially I was thinking "meh" but consistency is key and that's a killer deal for a veteran WR who knows our system, is a willing blocker and doesn't get hurt often. [Reply]

Cheap deal. He’s gonna be hungry to prove what he’s got on a 1 year deal. I don’t expect him to make me think he’s some great player, but if there’s ever a time he’s gonna do it, it should be on this 1 year deal contract so I’m good with it. [Reply]

That still doesn't mean that a multi-million dollar deal would make any sense.
Granted, I'm not a huge fan due his drops but when people were thinking he was going to get in excess of $4 million per, I thought "Wha?".
The best part of this signing is that it allows any drafted WR some time to get up to speed in what will most likely be a very, very short offseason (OTA's, minicamps, et al), if there's an offseason at all. [Reply]
He can thank Mahomes for that. Wilson had the game of his life week 17 at DEN. He was Mahomes primary target and looked all world while many starters rested for the Playoffs. [Reply]
