I get this feeling Sammy Watkins wants to get back to the east coast, then again I get that feeling with all players who come from that side of the planet.

Goodwin was about to put up 1k as Jimmy's #1 target before getting injured in the last game. Garcon was also on pace for well over 1k before getting hurt. He was also doing this without Jimmy.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks we need these overpaid FA receivers.

Every fanbase has their share of fans that lose their mind over Wide Receivers.

I'd be weary of offering Robinson $7M per, let alone $14M per.

We need some sort of upgrade to the receiving corps. Doesn't have to be all in on FA

27th in RZ percentage and we were still kicking a bunch of FGs after Jimmy G got inserted.

Yeah, I'd be worried about our receivers since they don't have the size to win 50/50 balls.

You like kicking FGs, I guess.

This...Jordy Nelson and Keenan Allen are perfect examples.
I've wanted Watkins if we were going to pay for a WR. But like I said before we don't REALLY need to over pay for a WR.

What do yall expect? That we'd all the sudden score 50 pts a game?

We can score with the current offense (and that was without Garcon)..and a s**tty Oline.

Spend our money on the Oline and a LEGIT Pass Rusher. Best pass rusher available, if need be.

Also don't discount the value of an actual pass catching RB who can pass block consistently which I expect us to either sign or draft.

Yes, would open up the offense even more.

Yep.
Ton of potential, but has yet to realize it. Not worth the money IMO, but I will say that he made a good choice by going with the Chiefs.

If Andy Reid can't get him to perform, nobody can.
