Benjamin Watson To Retire

12-27-2018, 05:37 PM

A veteran at the tight end position is ready to hang up his cleats for good.

But not before settling some unfinished business first.

New Orleans Saints tight Benjamin Watson has announced that he will retire from the National Football League at the end of the 2018-19 season.

“It’s time,” Watson told NFL Network. “It’s time to be done. I’m gonna finish strong.”

I wonder what team he'll retire with? Probably New England. He's only played 3 seasons with us. 6 with NE.

The team he won a Super Bowl PLAYING with!

Legend.

Unfortunately that will leave us with 1 TE under contract next year (Dan Arnold.) I’m sure we’ll re-sign Josh Hill because nobody else will be banging down his door. I’d say we can look to the draft for a starter, but for some reason TE is a really difficult position transitioning from college to the pros.

Good for hm but we are going to need some TEs

Takes TE's so long to develop. Most of them don't show up for 3-4 years down the road. We'll get another Vet but who knows.

This is likely a long, long shot but is Greg Olsen going to become available?
