| Good sign by the Saints. Good solid, veteran TE who would be a great backup for us. Reply • Back to Top |
| I don't care if its a ten year deal cause the only thing that matters is signing bonus and guaranteed money. Good solid 2nd TE. Reply • Back to Top |
| Reporting an eligible T was a dead give away. Glad we realized this. Great sign!! Reply • Back to Top |
| Great signing, this guy would have put up more stats with solid QB play in Cleveland This post was edited on 3/18 at 5:59 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Definite upgrade from last year. Solid pickup. Still, wouldn't be surprised if we go after a project, pass catching specialist TE for the practice squad. Either late rounds or more than likely an un-drafted free agent. Reply • Back to Top |
| Scott Fujita @scottfujita99 To all my folks down in New Orleans, please give a warm welcome to your newest Saint, my good friend solid #2 in place! Still could see a TE drafted 4th-6th Rd if it was overwhelming value Reply • Back to Top |
| "There were a couple of other teams (interested in signing Watson), but the Saints are really the team that came at me the most," Watson said. "They really wanted me to be a part of the organization. When a team wants you to be a part of the organization and the head coach calls you personally and tells you he wants you to be a part of the organization it means a lot. "And the city of New Orleans is definitely a city that I look forward to being a part of. The people from New Orleans are some of the most gracious and passionate people that I know. The fan base here is second to none. It's really an exciting time for me and my family." But that's not the only reason Watson, whose wife Kirsten is a Baton Rouge native, signed with the Saints.

| It really is. Still productive and can teach Graham. Reply • Back to Top |
| Very solid backup. Reply • Back to Top |
Very, very solid TE option.  Reply • Back to Top |
Very, very, very solid #2 TE  Reply • Back to Top |
| Good signing, he'll be a good second TE and is a good blocker on the move. Also can provide another veteran presence in the locker room. Reply • Back to Top |
quote:It's rewarding as a fan to have rival players notice the kind of fan base we have. The passion really is second to none, and I think that's why we have so many Saint-tards. Okay, maybe that's not why, but it is still nice to hear an outside player commend our passion. Now he get's to experience what it feels like to have a fan willing to kiss your arse one play and slit your throat the next. Good luck Watz. Reply • Back to Top |
It's good to hear, but come on....you have to think he's just being a little PR saavy, too  Reply • Back to Top |
| Well it would be one thing to say "the fans are great", but for him to specify the PASSION, you know he means it. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
