Veteran tight end Benjamin Watson, who intended to retire after last season, is now considering a return to the NFL for a 16th season, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Watson, whose wife is due to give birth to twins next week, might be open to returning to the NFL under the right situation, the sources said.
The 38-year-old Watson, whose contract with the New Orleans Saints expired after last season, ranks 14th among tight ends in NFL history with 528 career receptions for 5,856 yards and 44 touchdown catches.
