It’s not every day that an NFL team is able to sign two WRs to future’s contract who both have a legit chance to make the Cardinals’ 2025 53-man roster. Fans have been wanting a deep threat —- Watkins is one. And as for getting more physical and RAC oriented at the position from the slot and perimeter, Jackson fits the mode.
