New England brings back veteran tight end Ben Watson
Tight end Ben Watson has signed with the New England Patriots.
What It Means:
Watson is 38 but could play a sizeable role in the Patriots offense, taking snaps from New England's current crop of tight ends, who offer limited value in the passing game.
He has averaged 30.2 yards per game with a 63.4% catch rate in 14 NFL seasons.
