Hours after visiting the Green Bay Packers, former Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins has signed a deal with the organization.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Watkins is getting a one-year deal worth up to $4 million. Last season, the former Raven appeared in 13 games, finishing with 394 yards and one touchdown on 27 receptions.
Drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2014, Watkins now joins his fifth team in eight years, having previous stints with the Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Cheifs and Baltimore Ravens.
The 6-foot-1 wideout played for the Tigers from 2011 to 2013, having one of the most prominent careers in Clemson football history. In his three years of college, Watkins had a career 3,391 yards, a program record that still holds to this day.
Watson has had an up-and-down career, but joining forces with Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers could revitalize him into a consistent threat on one of last season’s best offenses.
