WR Sammy Watkins, Kansas City Chiefs
The Ravens could use more help at wide receiver next season. Though they’ve made strides in drafting and developing their own wide receiver corps, the right free agent signing could really bump the unit. Coach John Harbaugh noted the team is looking for two types of receiver this offseason, with a possession receiver likely the most coveted.
Watkins never really lived up to what was expected for being the fourth-overall draft pick, but he’s been a major contributor for the Bills, Rams and Chiefs while showing some flashes of greatness. Over the last three years, Watkins has averaged 44 receptions for 595 yards and five touchdown catches.
I don’t see any way Baltimore would pay him near the $16 million average per year of his last contract. But with Watkins having enough years to form a good sample size of what teams will actually get, his value could fall accordingly into a range the Ravens would be willing to pay.
