I would scratch him in tomorrow's game. Give him time to settle in and learn the offense and his role, and let him get some snaps starting in next week's game. We know this dude can play, keeping him healthy is paramount.
...and Gaines.
We got Watkins and a 6th.
If Sammy can stay on the field, it's a helluva move!!
Totally agree!
Now this would have been a totally ironic statement if Jeff Fisher was still in charge.

Idk man. Watkins, Woods, Kupp, and Austin are locks unless Austin is traded or injured.
Mike Thomas, Pharoah Cooper, and Josh Reynolds are all before him on that depth chart plus Bradley Marquez has a special teams advantage.
I just don't see a spot for him. Receivers drafted in the last two drafts don't have guaranteed spots.

ESPN already hating on us lol. Lazy writers and other team fans act like our offense cant improve and Goff is a massive bust with no chance to pan out. Cant wait to shut these haters up. Why do the Rams even bother to improve the team guys?

alm: After having gone through the Warner-Bulger wars over at RamsTalk, I could see that type of obsession would not end well. 
Was thinking the same, although they have to know we can't keep em all, so they'll come cheaper if they wait. Spruce have any trade value? I'd like to see the guy get a shot to get on the field.....Jets?
Well, even though he's the guy I wanted in that draft, hopefully he won't get butthurt if enough targets don't go his way.
But if he's a good solider, along with Tavon, Robert Woods, and Cooper Kupp, look out.
Plus the two TEs and Todd Gurley? Oye (Mc)vay.

2nd round and a player. Plus last year of a contract. But we needed to do something. I was at the Wednesday practice and the chargers Dbs stuck to our receivers like glue. Goff thru 3 passes to woods aiming for the back shoulder because woods couldn't separate going deep. Unfortunately woods wasn't on the same page and all three hit the ground 10 yards behind him.

I would think Reynolds or Cooper may be the only guys we may be able to get a 7th for - some other GM who liked their college tape. I want to keep Spruce - he is perfect as a 4th or 5th WR - I'm a little concerned as to special teams though.

So who got the best of the Bills, Rams and Eagles trades?

The two biggest trades so far this preseason happened simultaneously today, as the Bills announced a trade with the Rams and a related trade with the Eagles. So who got the best end of the deal?
To recap, here’s what each team ends up with after the two trades:
Bills get: The Rams’ second-round draft pick, the Eagles’ third-round draft pick, cornerback E.J. Gaines and receiver Jordan Matthews.
Rams get: The Bills’ sixth-round draft pick and receiver Sammy Watkins.
Eagles get: cornerback Ronald Darby.
For the Bills, this move was about acquiring draft picks for the future: The new regime has already decided to move on from Watkins, the prize pick of the old regime. So they decided to move on from Watkins a year early and get a second-round draft pick. They also picked up a third-round draft pick for Darby.
For the Rams, this was all about Watkins: They want to give young quarterback Jared Goff another weapon, and now they’ve done so.
And for the Eagles, this was about making the defense better right away: Darby should help immediately.
Watkins is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and is cheap for the Rams, at a salary of just $690,000 this year. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent next year unless the Rams slap the franchise tag on him. Watkins has 153 catches for 2,459 and 17 touchdowns in three seasons.
Matthews is also heading into the final year of his rookie contract and is a little more expensive, with a salary of $1.1 million. Matthews has 225 catches for 2,673 and 19 touchdowns in three seasons.
Gaines is heading into the final year of his rookie contract as well, with a salary of $1.8 million. He has started 25 games for the Rams but missed the entire 2015 season.
Darby has two more years left on his rookie contract, with salaries of $800,000 this year and $1 million next year. Darby has started 29 games in two years with the Bills.
So which team did the best? Tell us what you think.
Bills 49.52% (5,958 votes)
Eagles 32.33% (3,890 votes)
Rams 18.15% (2,184 votes)

I still say Gaines was the third cornerback. He would have been first off the bench if an injury happened.
Robey Coleman is 5 foot 8 and will never be anything except a slot back.
And the old adage you can never have too many cornerbacks is very true.
Don't get me wrong, I love the trade.

Watkins becomes a priority I would guess. Woods and gurley are the only other who should expect touches. Everyone else will have to work to eat. Even the rookies
