I see a watch, wedding band, and no ear rings or dreads.

Class!

Saints signed TE Ben Watson to a three-year contract.
A do-it-all tight end still going relatively strong at age 32, Watson will replace David Thomas as the Saints' top backup behind Jimmy Graham. In 16 games with the Browns last season, Watson hauled in 49 passes for 501 yards and three touchdowns. His numbers are likely to dip with a reduced role in New Orleans, but this is a smart depth signing by Saints GM Mickey Loomis & Co.

He was rated tied for the 4th best TE (3-star) available in free-agency behind Gonzalez Bennet and Clark

There's going to be even more things we'll be able to do in the red zone.

I've noticed a lot of NFL players doing this portrait with their newborns. Roby did it and Bushrod took one too. Wonder if they all use the same photographer?

Solid vet. Capable in all aspects. The Saints needed a TE who can block.

A great pick up here. Watson is a classy player. He's unselfish and a teamer. Love this move.
