Patriots re-signing Ben Watson

[Deus Irae]

The Patriots are expected to re-sign veteran TE Benjamin Watson, per source. He was released last week, but should be back in the fold to help a position that could use the depth.

OMG WE ARE SAVED!!!!!!!

3 TEs or LaCosse to IR?

 

[moosekill]

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hopefully he solidifies that spot. I wonder if Lacosse will be going on IR?

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Cool

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Clap.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Sooooo BB could not complete a trade for a TE?

Sooooo BB could not complete a trade for a TE?

Who possible we said f*ck it and run with Harry (WR) and Watson (TE) rather than a trade.

 

[SBLIII]

Sooooo BB could not complete a trade for a TE?

or he is just a replacement for LaCosse and he still hopes to trade for a TE

This is just BB toying with Watson's emotions because he can. Watson will be cut on Saturday.

I’m happy for him. He should be an upgrade in blocking and receiving.

 

[Foxypats]

If this is true them I am very happy.....we need all the help we can get !

Back he is...lol
What a roller coaster.

 

[BelizePats]

This is very good news and he has a full week of practice to get back up to speed.

In related news, Watson began his treatment again yesterday and will miss another 8 games due to a second failed PED test.

Ben Watson... More like Ben Ventrone

Glad to hear it, though in a way it makes last week's baffling decision even more baffling.

This might shed some light:

Watson wasn’t the only tight end the Patriots looked at over the past few days either. They want a boost at the position. twitter.com/nick_underhill…

Thought he may return at a lower number. Glad to have him back in the fold. He’s going to win a SB his first and final season with the team just like Vince.

Glad he is back.. Maybe Lacosse to IR or Izzo out of town.
Still hoping for a trade in TE, but I think that's more unlikely now
