Sammy Watkins

[Bert Johns]

I've been reading alot of articles about him being a possible free agent target for the colts. Lord i hope not. If we want a guy to get 600 yards a season lets just keep Donte Moncrief. When healthy this guy can play with Luck throwing him the ball. As you can tell i'm not a fan of Watkins. Thoughts?

At the right price, of course. He has all the talent in the world.

He's dead to me.

[lollygagger8]

If you can't stay on the field, what good are you? 

 

 

No thank you. 

[Indy1996]

Ya talk % on someone that had injury problems in buffalo like im dead

The best ability a player can have, is availability.  Mr. Watkins has not shown to be great in that area

[Stephen]

Id sign him on a health incentive based deal

[colts52761]

noooooo

[Malakai432]

Yeah this ones tough.  On one hand, with Luck and if he's 100% healthy I could see him being a 1000 yard receiver for the Colts.  Heck, he did it two years ago in 13 games.  I'm sure he will be expensive though, someone will sign him to a fairly lucrative contract.  If the Colts may be able to get him for a couple years at a decent price I'd be for it.  I'd however prefer Allen Robinson, but he would cost an arm and a leg probably.

An incentive-based deal just clogs up a valuable roster spot if the guy can't stay healthy, and it looks like he can't. Pass. 

[richard pallo]

Watkins and Robinson not getting tagged was the best news of the day.  These are young great receivers 24 or so in age.  And Landry is out there as well available in trade.  The Colts need to sign one of these guys.  Now they know they have three top tier guys to target.  And the best news is we can afford whoever we want.  The injuries don't concern me at all considering their ages.  Look at Luck.  When he comes back you think his injuries would scare teams away?  I don't think so.  Those three WR's are ascending players and we need to secure one of them and I think we will. Can't wait until next week.  

[COLTS449]

Heck no. No unless its a 1year deal worth no more than 6 Million. which isn't gonna happen. He should've already been to a couple pro bowls and be getting over 1,000 yards every year. We need to sign Allen Robinson first. He has to be our top priority at WR. He's a number 1 type WR entering his 5th season at OLY 24 !!!! He's gonna be a star over the next 5-6 years. Then maybe a guy like Jaron Brown or Ryan Grant who wouldn't be too expensive.

[bhougland]

Wow, the sentiment on this forum really is not correlated at all to his production.  Take a look at this video:

 

 

[waka waka]

i think Watkins in the righr system could be really good. i agree with all of you health is a major concern but he's be a great wr to pair with TY...i do like Robinson as well.

[SolidGold]

No to Mr. Glass

[Hoose]

Allen Robinson or bust. He’s what the Colts need. Get him, draft a good WR day 2,  and suddenly the  sun has come out on the WR corps.

I agree he is fragile but Moncrief was inconsistent even with luck and he is all about himself and not about the team for that reason I hope he is gone this team doesn't need head cases.

[IndyScribe]

I'd take him if we can't sign Robinson.

[Defjamz26]

No thanks. Chronic injuries and an underachiever when he is healthy.
