Fleenor gone and that will save us a few million. Watson Hill and alphabet. We won't reach for a TE in the draft. It's DE or DT unless we get Hankins

The Saints are good on leadership. They need a TE who can make plays. I'm afraid those days are over for Watson.

Don't rule out one being selected at the draft.

He will be the most experience. One we’ve had he can get it done
15 seasons this has to be his superbowl

Clear up some room after June 1st by releasing fleener. Huge mistake right there

Goes to show how terrible our TE situation is. Love Watson, but he's pushing it with his age and he's our best TE.

I always liked Ben Watson. He can block, run routes, catch the ball and break tackles. He was the Pats starting TE when they broke the record for most prolific iffense ever.

That's awesome, if you have him on facebook or Instagram, Benjamin Watson flushes more character daily than most people I know witness in their life time.

Who is our TE's coach? I think we have a position coach that had a different back ground before moving over when the TE coach took over at another position.iirc

I'm asking because we can't seem to get ANY production from TE.......just like we couoldn't get any production from the LB'ers before letting Vitt go. If we draft a TE can we train him?

Dan Campbell.

The bigger problem for me is talent. Too many undrafted or bottom round players at the TE position & Fleener is one concussion (had 5 in 2017) away from retirement. I hope the Saints target one no later than round 3.

At least Ben is back though.

I have to say this again if I hadn’t already Ben Watson is a class by himself if anyone listened to the 25 reasons saints fans should be excited interview he still blows me away with his logics and positives about coming back omgolly yes man

Athletes who take care of themselves can play for a long long time. Drew and Ben Watson are good examples of what the human body can do when we reach middle age. The NFL is littered with players who played into their forties.

Some of the best rugby players are over 35. My twin brother felt like that was his best year ever playing highly competitively. Ann old rugby saying is age and treachery will overcome youth and endurance any day!:p

Athletes who take care of themselves can play for a long long time. Drew and Ben Watson are good examples of what the human body can do when we reach middle age. The NFL is littered with players who played well into their forties.

Some of the best rugby players are over 35. My twin brother felt like that was his best year ever playing rugby at the upper level competitively. An old rugby saying is age and treachery will overcome youth and endurance any day!:p

Watson was stellar when he played for us just a few short years ago
Drew will elevate his game

Appreciate the team being supposedly disciplined in its FA spending, but can't help but wonder if signing Graham might've been worth the "extravagance"...
