Per Jason Wilde, Sammy Watkins is coming to GB for a 1 year deal up to 4MIL/year.

If this is true, gotta like the low risk/reward factor.
IMO, Watkins is better than Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers. Gives us another option.
WHY didn't we sign Will Fuller or Julio Jones ? Simple answer; they either don't wanna come to GB or they want too much money and we're not going to overpay a WR IMO with our cap situation.
I give Watkins Credit for being smart at least. IF you are a WR and think you can produce some numbers, a 1 year contract with Aaron Rodgers throwing you the ball could be worth lot of future $$$$$$$$TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

I love that deal for sure. I still think Watkins is a high upside guy. Was he in KC last year?Comment

He isn't much anymore. I have been arguing this since some on this site (and some no longer posters) told me how dominant every WR core except ours was. However, we need some vets who can simply be saavy and be where Rodgers wants them to be. Hopefully he ends up our #4 with 2 rookies and Lazard ahead of him. I don't mind the signing though.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Gute might prefer Watkins. Gute tried to sign Watkins in 2018 when Watkins signed with Kansas City.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostI can't run no more

He went from $16M/season (x3 seasons) to $5M/season to now $4M/season. I hope this motivates him.
If there's no signing bonus, he's a free trial until the season starts. I think he's got enough vested seasons that we'd owe him the full amount if he's on the Opening Day roster.I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.Comment

Aside from Adams, I think our WR core was amount the bottom half, perhaps bottom quarter in the NFL if you exclude the #1 on the roster.
I'm not sure if Watkins is better or worse than Lazard either. But I do hope we have two rookies we draft high ahead of him.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

Yes. If you exclude the #1 WR on any roster, the room doesn't look too good. If you exclude my wife I have been celibate for decades. If you exclude Rodgers our QB room is pretty bad. If you exclude LaFleur our HC is vacant. If you exclude..... Well, you get the idea.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

NOT A FAN OF THIS SIGNING, rather have waited for a better option hopefully if something pops up they can shed this contract without a financial hit this yearComment

Watkins only had 27 receptions last year, but he did average over 14 YPR. That with his QB having a pretty mediocre year. He could do better with Rodgers throwing to him IF he can stay on the field. It's always a big IF with him. But I think it's worth a shot.I can't run no more

Dang some of my post cutoff. Our failure to get a 2 has already hurt us but it makes the loss of adams sting way way moreTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Given our depleted talent at wr it seems like a good riskTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

If injury hasn't killed his speed great pickup for the money. Not as fast but way better hands than mvs.
Anyone know how his route running is? If it's sharp then he is our temporary #1 wr imo.
However I am very sceptical based on injury historyAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
