Tight end Benjamin Watson will reportedly return to the NFL with the New England Patriots.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Watson plans to sign with his former team.
Rapoport noted "there are a few issues to work through, but those won't hold up" a deal, which ESPN's Adam Schefter reports will be for one year and $3 million.
Retirement apparently didn't suit the 38-year-old Watson well. While playing for the New Orleans Saints, he announced last December that the 2018 season would be his last:
