What are your thoughts on his constant injuries ?
I'm not questioning his skills. He has unlimited potential... if it weren't for his injuries. But that's something that can't be ignored.

Four years he's missed a total of 13 games. He's been bit by the injury bug quiet a few times but like Alshon Jeffrey i would love to sign him to a 1 year prove it deal. His talent is enormous. Pay him good for a year and see where it goes. Worse case he leaves.

I'm guessing that he's not going to want to sign a 1 year deal. But I would give him a shot on a 1 year 10 million contract

Played in all 15 games last season not counting the last game that had them bench all their starters. In his 4 year career he's played in 52 out of 64 possible games, to compare ARob has only played in 43 out of 64 possible games.

I think he would do a 1 year prove it deal. His numbers last year were low aside from his TDs. He wants to get paid so he has to perform really well for a season.

I don't think you guys were really paying attention to his career week to week. And I don't blame you, he was on the bills. I Watched him closely only cuz fantasy football purposes . And while the stats say he played in all those games or started, in many games he would just be limping around not doing s**t. Often he was a game time decision that had no business on the field
So while the stats say he played most games, he was not himself in a large number of those games. It's why the bills let him go for only a second and Gaines after investing so damn much in him. And it's also a big reason why the rams let him walk after only one year. Completely wasting a second rounder.
When he's healthy , he's close to unstoppable. But that's such a rare occurrence.

Might not hit the market!!!
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Rams are "working actively" to re-sign free agent Sammy Watkins.

Rams doing whatever it takes to win. We definitely should try to sign Robinson.
I do think Watkins will test the market tho being its his second contract and might want to get paid.

What's Sherman's numbers against him? If Sherman is healthy and still has it I wouldn't be worried about Watkins

Sammy Watkins liked and retweeted Goodwin's post from a few days ago. I know it doesn't mean much, I'm sure he was just congratulating a friend... Or does it mean that he's congratulating his future teammate?

To have a good playoff run, our first goal is to win the division. I'm sure Sherman will be giving Shanahan a lot of inside information about the Seahawks defense. It'd be cool to be getting similar inside stuff coming from Watkins about the Rams offense. I still think that Watkins would shine in this offense with Shanahan and Garoppolo. Also it's nice that he's friends with Goodwin because Goodwin can help him feel comfortable with everything a lot faster.

I feel like Saleh probably has plenty info on the Seahawks D. I feel like Shanahan can get the best out of Watkins. He got a career yr out of Goodwin with an inexperienced supporting cast around him and he's not even considered premier talent so I can only imagine what he could get out of Sammy, Moncrief , A-Rob, Richardson or even Pryor(incentive laden deal obviously).

Congratulating a former teammate most likely. Both were on the same Bills squad.
