Ben Watson reportedly returning to Saints on 1-year deal
The New Orleans Saints signed tight end Ben Watson, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens, to a 1-year contract, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.
What It Means:
Watson was with the Saints from 2013-2015 and had the best year of his career in 2015, with 74 catches (110 targets) for 825 yards and 6 touchdowns. He missed 2016 due to a torn Achilles' but managed to bounce back with a solid campaign for the Ravens last year.
