Ben Watson is done, next to nothing left in the tank; has to come off the field after running a route; inspirational at his age to do what he's even capable of doing, but it's obvious he's done; move on...
Would a reunion with Jimmy Graham been in the best interests of both parties - maybe; but, Graham's body seemingly aged faster playing outdoors in Seattle and now Green Bay; offer 3 Day contract to retire...
Fav Free Agent Target, Pittsburgh's Jessie James always on the wrong side of the coin-flip with the mercurial Roethlisberger, lacking chemistry; perhaps his production sees a boost in the Payton/Brees offense...
Reclamation project, Comeback Player that intrigues is Maxx Williams, a top flight TE prospect in his respective draft, Baltimore failed to develop the miscast tight end; again, Payton/Brees boost factor...
So far as draft picks, too early to tell with what few draft picks we now have which should probably be used to develop offensive line depth, maybe a cornerback that falls?!?
So many threads about the same issue...anyways, we don't have the draft picks to address what will be several needs (e.g. offensive line, cornerback, strong safety, running back, and tight end)...
Expect a heavy dose of free agency which is what Payton/Mickster prefer...
I'm feeling the above two names would make the best transition, fit for the Saints...
