I agree that I would love the idea of keeping Watkins and I think he will jump on an extension and restructure. Where the numbers are may be +/- a million or so per year in my opinion. Most good #2's are in that $9m per range which is what the extension is. If he wants more than a 2-year $21m extension and move that salary to a bonus, then I'd cut bait. He's not worth that much and I think you could find adequate replacement. You might just change up what you do and go for a splash in FA at another position and grab a WR higher in the draft.
Depends alot on the market. If Fuller gets a starter offer, he could make more. As it stands he's a #3 CB and not too many teams pay more than 3-4m per for one. It's not important that the player is Fuller, necessarily. I think Veach can find a guy in that 2-3 range again.
As for Pennel, I don't see it. He's a rotational #3/4 DT and would make $910k on a vet min deal with maxed bonus. Not many DTs making over $1m per unless they are an every-down starter. Let's not forget he was going to be bagging groceries before the Chiefs pulled him in. His ceiling for me is $1.5m per, which really doesn't make or break the cap and I just don't see a team offering that.
