Ben Watson, the reunion tour?

The veteran tight end was in Foxborough Thursday meeting with the Patriots as he prepares to unretire after originally calling it quits shortly after wrapping up his 14th NFL season.

According to ESPN, Watson also is considering the Chiefs, Bills, and 49ers as potential comeback destinations.

In New England, he could help fill the void left by the retirement of Rob Gronkowski.

Currently the Patriots have Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Matt LaCosse, Stephen Anderson, Ryan Izzo, and Andrew Beck on the depth chart at tight end.

Watson, 38, was a first-round pick of the Patriots in 2004.
