Benjamin Watson could un-retire and reunite with Pats, report suggests

One way or another, help should soon be coming to the New England Patriots at the tight end position. Whether it’s through the 2019 NFL Draft (Iowa TE Noah Fant, anyone?), trading for another team’s player, or convincing a retired former Patriot to come back for one more rodeo, the Patriots will surely address their vacancy at starting tight end before September rolls around.

Of course, if it’s the third route, most fans would unabashedly prefer that Rob Gronkowski – who announced his retirement last month – returns for his 10th NFL season. Gronk is the greatest tight end in Patriots franchise history, and has a legitimate argument as the greatest tight end in NFL history as well.
