If you had to choose one guy who would you choose?

Player A

2022 41 catches 593 yards 2 TDs
2023 32 catches 514 yards 2 TDs
2024 37 catches 824 yards 7 TDs
2025 47 catches 1003 yards 6 TDs

Player B

2022 41 catches 611 yards 7 TDs
2023 28 catches 422 yards 5 TDs
2024 29 catches 620 yards 2 TDs
2025 35 catches 611 yards 6 TDs

If you say Player A you choose Alec Pierce. If you choose Player B you choose Christian Watson.

Both players similar numbers. Alex Pierce though just signed 4 years $114 million with $86 million guaranteed including a $26 million signing bonus.

This will be the deal if the Packers talk to Watson about a contract extension that Watson agent will work off of.

Would you do that or just wish Watson good luck after the season?

I need to see Watson play a full season injury-free before doing more.

with player a, you have a guy who played his rookie and second year as a #2 or #3 receiver and had good numbers. then in year 3, he took a big jump and in year 4 another jump. player b had more tds in his irst two years than his next two years. and his 4th year production was almost identical to his rookie year (one less td in year 4). i prefer a player who is on the rise and ready to be a true #1 receiver.

i get the fact that watson has not had good luck with injuries, but he really has not established himself as a true #1 receiver yet. maybe next contract. sign him to a 1 or 2 year deal or maybe a 4-year deal with big bonuses for production and a team-friendly out after two years.
