The Ravens? one-year deal with Sammy Watkins
The Ravens are signing wide receiver Sammy Watkins to a one-year, $5 million deal, a source confirmed to The Athletic?s Jeff Zrebiec.
Watkins, 28, battled injuries last season with the Chiefs and had 37 catches for 421 yards in 10 games. He?s had some memorable playoff moments, but in three years in Kansas City, Watkins never topped 673 yards. He ranked 64th out of 78 players last season in yards per route run. Now Watkins is going to a run-heavy offense.
Given the low one-year cost, there?s not much risk from the Ravens? perspective. But it feels like a stretch to expect him to perform better in Baltimore?s offense than he did in the Chiefs? offense. Watkins is a competent starter at this point in his career, but the upside might not be big ? especially in the Ravens? scheme. This signing is fine, but it?s probably not the big addition Ravens fans were hoping for when the offseason started.
