The Facts: The Chiefs may decide they need to re-sign Watkins. GM Brett Veach indicated the Chiefs would like to work something out with Watkins again. "Sammy is a big part of this offense and when he's healthy, we're better," Veach said. "If there's a way we can make it work again, we'll certainly try to do that. Love having him around."

Diehards Line: They worked hard last year despite a tight salary cap situation to negotiate a reduced contract with Watkins. That was perhaps a reflection on what they thought of Mecole Hardman, who has yet to demonstrate the ability to be a consistent contributor in the passing game. If the Chiefs re-sign Watkins, it likely means another season for Hardman as a down-the-line receiving option, behind Hill, Kelce, Watkins and perhaps others.
