ESPN’s Adam Schefter is among those reporting the deal could be worth up to $4 million.
Watkins also confirmed his destination, tweeting that he was “officially a cheesehead:”
The Buffalo Bills drafted Watkins 4th overall in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Clemson. After three years with the Bills, Watkins has bounced around to several teams ever since, spending 2017 with the Rams, 2018 through 2020 with the Kansas City Chiefs, and last season with the Baltimore Ravens.
Watkins has caught 348 passes for 5,059 yards and 34 touchdowns in 8 career seasons but had his highest yards per reception average in several years with the Ravens last season.
The Packers had been looking for a veteran receiving option to join Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb after Adams decided he did not want to return to the Packers. The team ultimately traded Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, where he signed a new long-term contract extension to make him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
