Watkins’ departure is the latest move in a quiet offseason for the Chiefs’ wide receiver position. The Chiefs brought back Demarcus Robinson on a one-year deal on Thursday following various pursuits of other free agent pass-catchers who signed elsewhere.

Now, Sammy Watkins moves on to another AFC contender where he will play alongside Lamar Jackson in hopes of taking the AFC’s top spot away from the team he spent the last three years with.
