• Packers' Sammy Watkins: Lands with Green Bay

  04/14/2022 •

  The Packers and Watkins agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. After visiting Green Bay earlier Thursday, Watkins will join the fifth organization of his career. The eight-year pro doesn't turn 29 until June, but he's also missed multiple games in all but two seasons so far. In his most recent stop in Baltimore last year, Watkins hauled in 27 of 49 passes for 394 yards and one touchdown in 13 appearances. With the Packers, he'll join a receiving corps in dire need of a boost after the team dealt Davante Adams to the Raiders and Marquez Valdes-Scantling moved on to the Chiefs this offseason.

• Sammy Watkins: Visiting the Packers

  04/14/2022 •

  Watkins is slated to visit with the Packers on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. While Garafolo notes that no deal is imminent, a look at the Packers' wideout depth chart minus Davante Adams points to Green Bay potentially being a good fit for Watkins. The 2014 first-rounder logged a modest 27-394-1 stat line in 13 games with the Ravens last season, but when healthy the 28-year-old can be a useful passing target, and that's an area the Packers are looking to shore up as the 2022 NFL Draft approaches.

• Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Complete non-factor in finale

  01/10/2022 •

  Watkins failed to bring in his only target in the Ravens' 16-13 overtime loss to the Steelers on Sunday. The veteran's season came to a profoundly disappointing conclusion down the stretch, as he was targeted all of three times over the last four games and came away with nothing to show for it. Watkins' Ravens career had started off encouragingly enough with a 16-257 line over his first four games, but he ultimately lost his No. 2 role to rookie Rashod Bateman. Given his expiring contract and forgettable finish, it seems all but a certainty Watkins will be on the move again this offseason.

• Ravens' Sammy Watkins: No targets again

  01/04/2022 •

  Watkins was not targeted on 13 snaps Sunday against the Rams. The veteran did not make an impact against his former team and notched his second straight game with zero targets. Watkins has played a combined 16 snaps since returning from a one-game absence in Week 16, and his role appears to have fully diminished. The veteran, who is on a one-year contract, will finish the season Sunday against the Steelers at home.

• Ravens' Sammy Watkins: Minimal usage in return

  12/28/2021 •

  Watkins played three offensive snaps Sunday against the Bengals and did not draw a target. This was Watkins' first game back since coming off the reserve/COVID-19 list, but his usage was minimal. Watkins has played fewer than 50 percent of the snaps in five of six games since returning from injury, and he doesn't have a catch in either of his last two games. Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman took most of the snaps at receiver, and James Proche moved into the No. 3 role. Watkins and the Ravens return home to face the Rams on Sunday.
