Ben Watson and the Saints reunite

Buzz - Ben Watson and the Saints reunite

3/29/2018

Tight end Benjamin Watson reunited with one of his former teams on Wednesday, signing a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints. Previously with the Baltimore Ravens in 2017, Watson was not only their Man of the Year candidate (and finalist), but he led the team with 61 catches for over 500 yards and four touchdowns. This is both surprising and not. It's surprising because Watson is old as shit. It's not surprising because the rest of the team either forgot how to catch or didn't know how to in the first place.

Baltimore didn't seem that interested on signing Watson back, even though they need a tight end like I need to breathe. Every single good Ravens tight end I can think of has been littered with extremely bad luck - making me think they're in some sort of cult, or just didn't send out their chain letter emails. At tight end the Ravens currently have Nick Boyle (good blocker but loves Adderall), Maxx Williams (hurt every three seconds) and Vince Mayle (made a good play once or twice).

Cleveland trades Cody Kessler to the Jaguars. Blake Bortles gets a backup, and the Browns will get a conditional seventh-round pick in exchange for this dude. If he hit me in the face, I wouldn't know who he was, but hell.
"It's ridiculous. Like telling a driver if you touch the lane lines, you're getting a ticket. (It's) gonna lead to more lower-extremity injuries." - Richard Sherman, on the new targeting rule.
The Giants want at least two first-round picks for Odell Beckham, Jr. New York has said they aren't shopping the wide receiver, but that's their asking price. Ain't no way.
Washington trades Su'a Cravens to the Broncos. After going back on their word (shocker) and saying they weren't trading him, the Redskins got a bunch of picks in return (look em up). Denver gets a player with a concussion history and who has talked about wanting to retire a million times.
Mark Sanchez a possibility to backup Russell Wilson in Seattle (Mark! Sanchez!). Sanchez played for Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll at USC, and played for the New York Jets when current Seattle OC Brian Schottenheimer was there (in between dates with 15 year olds).
Rob Gronkowski is going to be in a movie - an action movie with Mel Gibson titled "Boss Level." I don't even know what to say.
Kickoffs are at risk if they aren't made safer, according to Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy. "We've reduced the number of returns, but we haven't really done anything to make the play safer," he said on Wednesday. My eyes are rolling out of my head.
PATs are eliminated after game-winning touchdowns on the final play.
Jay Gruden claims Redskins got better at the quarterback position. Earlier this offseason, Washington traded CB Kendall Fuller and a third-round pick to the Chiefs for Alex Smith and let Kirk Cousins walk. Just hilarious.
Le'Veon Bell wants Antonio Brown money. The Pittsburgh Steelers RB hasn't been quiet about his wants for a big pay day after playing on the franchise tag for two consecutive seasons.
