I feel like DRob has the potential to be an 800-yard WR. Best thing for him long term might indeed be to prove his full potential this season and then cash in on a long term contract.
I'm a fan of DRob.
It would certainly help him though if Watkins was not kept. And him resigning offers Chiefs protection should Watkins be traded or released. [Reply]
Damn. Robinson already entering year 5. It doesn’t feel that long.
Robinson is coming off his most productive season to date, and even though he can frustrate with easy drops, he is a contributor on special teams aside from some of his chain-moving, and sporadic big plays. I think the most underrated thing about his game though is his blocking. The guy is scrappy and plays to the whistle. Using this new salary cap loophole with the veteran benefit is a perfect tool to apply to a player like Robinson. He gets to stay home, get a mild raise with fully guaranteed money, and now the Chiefs have some options with regards to what to do with Sammy, as the depth is in good shape.

Still need to draft a WR at some point
It's a deep WR draft class, similar talent less money. He knows our system, so makes sense for us, but not a new team. [Reply]
Heck bringing back Hill, Hardman, and Robinson is great. If Veach can figure out Sammy all the better. This offense is going to be be so damn smooth! [Reply]
With Robinson back, it makes way too much sense to cut/trade Watkins, guys. I'm not going to bitch if Veach extends him, but I'd rather just have the cap room at this point. No, Robinson isn't close to being as good as Watkins, but he's always available and rarely ever on the injury report. There's something to be said about that.
It's putting pressure on Hardman to speed up his development, but he should be improved and able to do a little more than just go routes and gadget plays. Add to that one of these outstanding rookie WRs, and we'll have a terrific combination of vets, talent, and potential all without paying through the nose.
Mahomes can do that. He's used to not having Watkins for stretches of the season anyway. That slight drop in lethal talent is worth it for the money. [Reply]
