If he has a good year he'll get the franchise which will be a massive deal or hit free agency. Odell Beckham will make 8 Million next year in comparison. I'm pretty confident Watkins will make more than 8 Million next year.

It's a risk for either side. If he gets hurt and/or doesn't play well, the Bills win. If he plays well and stays healthy, Watkins wins.

Re: Not Getting Option Can help Sammy make more $$
Originally posted by Kenny View Postagreed with not signing him to the extension... but lets face it. It's a lose lose for the Bills. If Watkins gets hurt and/or doesnt produce, he's likely gone and we wasted an extra first rounder on him. If he plays well, we'll have to franchise him.
It doesn't surprise me that they didn't announce this until Whaley was fired. Gives Brandon the chance to blame the guy who isn't here anymore.

Reminds me a few years ago when we traded back into the first and got McCargo? Could of had Mangold.

Re: Not Getting Option Can help Sammy make more $$
If you're a betting man, you put your money on Sammy getting injured in 2017.
He's been injured every single year in Buffalo. That's reality regardless of how you feel about him as a player.
I trust in numbers. They're more plain than emotional arguments. Less open to interpretation.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.

If Sammy plays well this year you keep him on a tag or sign him to a decent contract and build.
