Heading into the 2018 offseason, the Los Angeles Rams faced a difficult decision when it came to using the franchise tag since both Lamarcus Joyner and Sammy Watkins seemed worthy of the consideration.
With that being said, there’s no question that the Rams made the wise choice by using the tag on Joyner over Watkins since it would have been a lot hard to replace him on defense.
Not to mention, when seeing the hefty amount of money the Kansas City Chiefs were willing to pay Watkins to come on board in free agency, it was a relief to see Los Angeles avoid that ridiculous price.
