In perhaps a surprising move, the Green Bay Packers released veteran wide receiver Sammy Watkins on Monday before their kickoff against the Los Angeles Rams.
Toure played 30 snaps over the past four games after flashing some potential earlier this season at Buffalo and Detroit.
Watkins signed a heavily incentivized contract this spring that included built-in payments for catches, yards, touchdowns and snaps. The one-year, $1.85 million contract included a $1.12 million base salary, $330,000 in per-game bonuses , and a $50,000 workout bonus.He made the 53-man roster out of camp, but a hamstring injury Week 2 derailed his season.
Watkins returned from injured reserve after missing four games but never regained traction in the Packers offense. He did not reach 50 yards in a game the rest of this season. The lowest level for his production-based incentives was $150,000 for 50 catches, $150,000 for 550 yards, $150,000 for seven touchdowns and $150,000 for playing 55% of snaps. Watson finished with 13 catches for 206 yards and no touchdowns. His 279 snaps accounted for 33.45% of the Packers offense.
With Watson’s release, the Packers depth chart is trimmed to five receivers: Watson, Lazard, Doubs, Cobb and Toure. The team also released receiver Amari Rodgers earlier this season.
