****in' broke the bank on that contract.

And we’re gonna pay Watkins a similar deal


Yuck

that sucks if so.

Uh...no way in hell.

What are you smoking?

This.

Tyreek? Probably.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well, we're going to pay hill more than what evans got in a year or so...

Not necessarily a bad thing but something to keep in mind when everyone is clamoring for high priced FAs

Ribs

You guys better hold your nose here in a few days

I'd have no problem giving Tyreek that deal when the time comes.

Sammy doesn't have the stats in my opinion to warrant that kind of coin.

I think Sammy has a lot of upside, but Evans has caught 117 more balls over their first three years and has seven more TD and 1500 more yards.

Over a three year period thats pretty huge

If Hill has a huge year in 2018, the Chiefs are probably looking at 5 years, $90 million with at least $55 million guaranteed.

I agree.

Hill's second season is better than Evans.

Are you just being a fatalistic Chiefs fan or did I miss a story somewhere indicating the Chiefs have interest in Watkins?
