The Facts: The Jaguars would like to keep Allen Robinson. And maybe they’re squeezing him by looking around at other options. Via Mike Kaye of First Coast News, the Jaguars have shown interest in Watkins.
Diehards Line:Watkins, like Robinson, is an unrestricted free agent who was not tagged. Unlike Robinson, Watkins was a top-four draft pick, acquired by the Bills after they gave up two first-round picks and a fourth-round selection to get him. As PFT's Mike Florio noted, both have red flags. Watkins has never lived up to his potential, and Robinson suffered a torn ACL in Week 1 last season. Watkins, however, might be a better value at this point. That said, Florio pointed out the Jaguars have plenty of money to work with thanks in part to the decision to keep Blake Bortles at $18 million per year.
