Not what we wanted to see

Source: The #Ravens have their free agent receiver, as Sammy Watkins is expected to sign in Baltimore. Another weapon for MVP Lamar Jackson.

I hate this! I thought he was a great fit. But even if the FO didn't want him, he's a burner when healthy and don't want him in the division against us.

he was affordable too

Sammy Watkins to the Ravens - 1 year 6mil (5mil fully guaranteed), per source.

I think this is great honestly.

A) I did not want the Bengals investing in an aging, often injured receiver, who would likely hold back the development of the high round draft pick we are destined to acquire this year.

B) One of the things that has consistently held back the Ravens from being a truly dominant force year in and year out, is a top notch #1 receiver. I love to see them dedicating resources to a band aid, often injured, aging receiver. Hopefully this prevents them from spending a day 1 or 2 pick on a young stud receiver.

I truly think this is a win win for the Bengals.

He was looking to retire a few years ago, then had a bit of a resurgence with KC. Not sure how long his heart will be in it for the Ravens. I’m glad we didn’t get him honestly.

That's so Raven...

 was gonna say the same.  It really is a Raven move.  I would've loved to have him one year for 6 mil

I like Lamar, but I think he's maybe holding his receivers not named Andrews back. I don't know how much Watkins is gonna move the needle in Baltimore. I also think Hollywood Brown is better than what he showed last season.

I knew I was the only one that watched that show on this forum. Should have just used Raven Symone lol.

That guy is named Orlando Brown he was in the show and he is or was absolutely crazy after the show. (Like a Pacman Jones, Isaiah Wilson kind of crazy)

I fairness.... I did know Raven Symone was the star and namesake of the show. I remember her from the later Cosby Show. I didn't have kids then (That's So Raven era) so I was outta the loop.

We are drafting Chase. It doesnt matter.

Oh well. He'll play in 10 games, amass a whopping 350 yards and two TDs in that offense! Hope he enjoys blocking! [emoji2369]
