Report: Tight end Benjamin Watson is visiting Patriots but considering Chiefs

Tight end Benjamin Watson is once again reportedly considering the Kansas City Chiefs, except this time it’s after calling off his retirement. The report came through from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Former Saints’ TE Benjamin Watson, who had intended to retire, is in New England today visiting with the Patriots, per source. Watson also is considering the Chiefs, Bills and 49ers. His retirement didn’t last long.

The move to acquire the 38-year-old Watson would be unique for general manager Brett Veach, who has tended to avoid bringing in free agents much older than 25.
