Former Clemson wideout okay with making less money with current NFL team

Time is running out! Get one year of coverage for just $20.20 

According to an article written by Adam Teicher of ESPN, Sammy Watkins would be perfectly fine with making less money this year with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He will make $9 million a year compared to $14 million with his new deal.

"I think I've made enough money," Watkins said. "I'd love more money, but as far as being smart and [staying] on this team, knowing you've got to pay Pat Mahomes, you've got to pay Chris Jones, there's a lot of guys you've got to pay. So for me to take a contract like I did was a blessing. ... This is my happy place, so why not take a smaller contract and come out and play with the guys I've been playing with?"

The former Clemson star WR was a critical part of the Chiefs’ run to the Super Bowl, which included a 38-yard reception in that game that set up the game-winning touchdown back in February.
