Former Saints TE Benjamin Watson Signs With Patriots
Former New Orleans Saints tight end Ben Watson announced last season it would be his last one as a pro.
He never filed his official retirement papers, and began having doubts about his decision a month ago.
Today, he signs with the team who drafted him in the first round 15 years ago.
The 38 year old has played for the Patriots, Browns, Ravens and Saints.
In his 15 year career, he’s caught 530 passes for 5,885 yards and 44 touchdowns.
