He can still get it done. Dude is like a Delanie Walker light. I'm all for taking a TE at 27 though. We could get a top tier one at that pick and it is a severe need.

Re: Benjamin Watson visits Saints

The Saints are considering another reunion in free agency. They hosted TE Benjamin Watson on a visit, according to ESPN's Field Yates. That move would make a ton of sense, since Sean Payton just labeled tight end as a "must," and since the Saints and Watson were such a great fit the last time around. Watson was elected as a team captain in New Orleans and had a career season in 2015 with 74 catches, 825 yards and 6 TDs. Watson is now 37 years old, and he tore his Achilles with the Ravens in 2016. But he bounced back nicely with 61-522-4 while playing all 16 games last year.

Geez he is an old man. I think this is a backup role on the cheap.

Hell, why not. The theme of this off season free agent signings are bring back former players, add him to the pile.

Halo already rubber stamped approval of re-acquisition of Watson... in fact, Halo was mad when he took more money to leave the Saints for the Ravens last season!! COME BACK BEN!

IIRC Benjamin had more TD receptions than Hill, Fleener and Hoomanawanui combined last season. Still a good blocker, solid hands, great mentor & locker room presence. Not bad to say he's on "old man".

I hope they sign him.

Re: Benjamin Watson visits Saints

It's a good signing. Low risk and as you stated, decent stats last year and a good blocker which is critical. I think his receiving stats will be roughly about the same. Maybe a slight uptick. I still think we draft a TE if that is the best player available.
