It’s official, the Chiefs are keeping the band together.
After months of speculation about his future, Sammy Watkins is staying in Kansas City.
Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports broke the news in the early hours of this morning (seriously go to bed, Terez) that Watkins signed a new 1-year deal that will pay the former Bills and Rams receiver $9M this year, a figure that could increase to $16M after incentives.
This comes as a shock, given how coy Andy Reid was about the subject just yesterday:
“Right now, he’s here,” said Reid.
