[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 1094899, member: 13032"] Seems to me like you and mradtke66 are both right. Watson is the best WR on the team, he has improved each season, and he is a threat to out up a 1300 plus yard, 12-15 plus TD season. A threat to do it, as in, he hasn't done it yet. If he wants elite money he has to have an elite year, IMO. Poker provides some solid intel on elite WR comp. Poker also provides this: "Alec Pierce signed a 4 year, $114,000,000 contract with the Indianapolis Colts, including $26,000,000 signing bonus," This is about where I'd expect Watson to land if he has a solid year - ala, 1000 yards plus, 112 TDs plus, plays in all 17 regular season games, or at a minimum, 15. His injury history is just too much to go higher than this. So to avoid losing him in FA in the offseason to a contract the Packers won't pay, extend him mid-season to Alec-Pierce-like numbers and hope that his chronic injury history is just that, history. That's a risk worth taking. Now he has seemed to solve his worst injury problem - soft-tissue/hamstring chronic injury. There was a leg-strength discrepancy apparently and he's worked on that. But his presence on the field impacts the entire offense and the opposing defense. I think it was one of the last two Chicago games. Reed and Watson were lined up on the right side, with Watson on the outside. Watson broke inside and carried two CBs with him. That left Reed, who broke left with only a LB in coverage. Reed caught the pass for an easy TD, but the mismatch that made the play work was due to Watson carrying two CBs away from the play. It was brilliant. [/QUOTE]
