Ben Watson, Saints Reportedly Agree to 1-Year Contract

Tight end Ben Watson reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move represents a reunion for the two sides after Watson spent three seasons in the Big Easy from 2013-15.

Things took a turn in 2016 when Watson ruptured his Achilles after latching on with the Baltimore Ravens, but he rebounded in style last year.

Appearing in all 16 games, Watson caught 61 passes for 522 yards and four touchdowns as one of quarterback Joe Flacco's most reliable targets.
