Look for him to get a well above average deal that is based more around supply and potential then anything he has shown in the NFL. Allen Robinson not getting tagged adds a bit more to the WR market, but in the end I still think Watkins gets a good deal. If for some reason the bottom falls out of the market and you can get him for high end number 2 money I'd be fore cutting LaFell and picking him up (along with another couple million in salary).

I'd offer 3-year, $25 mill (avg. $8.33 mill a year) at most. He'll likely get more than that elsewhere, but I can't see investing more than that in a good WR2 when the Bengals have gaps elsewhere. Obviously, LaFell would need to be cut too to help cover that cost.
