I like the Watson signing personally. He's everything that members have said he is here AND he comes from Payton's favorite program - The Patriots

Yep, and my guess is that he was signed merely as a back-up, not a starter.

Should be probably double vet minimum. I can live with that.

Sounds about right on the $. Love having a vet like Watson bc Graham seems to lose his focus at times (evident in drops last year).

Look for an UDFA TE signing as well.

Anyone think Charles Brown will have his hands full now??

Probably, but there's also Higgins who may have progressed enough to be considered a true #3 at the TE position.
