[YayMike]

Per ESPN.

Looks like a first is going back to New England

I imagine that Cook improvises too much and isn't exactly where the QB expects him to be. The great QBs want guys to run exact routes so they can control the situation. The Patriots expect precision in their offense.

Interesting read comparing Watkins to the other WR’s in the 2014 draft class including Cooks.

It’s a good point. It looks like Bill is trying to send Kraft a message.

[Red Dawg]

I doubt Bill is trying to make the team weaker. Im sure he has a plan.

Exactly.

So LA can get premium play from Talib and Suh this year and then get a comp pick for them after they walk next year.

Then, if they don’t want to give Gurley and Peters extensions the following year, they can let them walk and collect the comp picks the following year.

They can utilize the FT in there to stagger their losses to keep the premium comp picks rolling in.

You guys over pay for a guy with a degenerative foot and the Rams end up getting a guy who has out performed Watkins while still on his rookie deal.

EPIC.

You been busy spinning the Peters move and trying to pump up the stats of your new no name secondary?

Trading a 1st cause you couldn’t keep the guy you traded a 2 for a year ago is almost as bad as paying a backup $20,000,000 to be your “starter” at QB.

[RunKC]

The Rams wasted a 2nd rd pick for Sammy Watkins on a 1 year rental and now used their 1st rd pick on a lesser receiver.

That’s horrific business

I forgot you guys don't have a 1st round pick this year so you couldn't have done it anyway.

Next year is the year.

[BossChief]

We didn’t have to give up anything to get Sammy and he’s gonna force defenses to make decisions on who they are gonna leave single covered. No defense in the NFL has the talent to cover all of KCs weapons. Especially with Mahomes back there.

Hunt
Watkins
Conley
Kelce
Hill

Mahomes should be able to KILL defenses with audibles.

Yeah, I'm sure our boy Veach would never consult with the Dr. ahead of time before awarding a manure load of $$ for a suspected non-healing foot injury

This right here is what I want to see the most aside from PM2 threading the needle with missiles down field. When he audibles defenses are going to have that "deer in the headlights" experience more often than they would like for sure.
