The author is correct is several aspects:
1. Watkins is getting paid more on his future potential than his past performance. He has not been anywhere close to being a top 5 wide receiver, yet he's being paid like one.
2. His foot injury is a concern.
3. Andy has not yet fully utilized a 2nd WR in his schemes in KC.
All that being said:
1. Andy did use Maclin and Jackson in Philly, so he can utilize two WR's if he chooses.
2. Even if Watkins doesn't perform as a top 10 WR stat wise, if he helps KC get past the first round of the playoffs he is money well spent.
I would say giving that money to Watkins is a bit of a gamble, but not reckless.
