I dunno, they thought highly of Daniel Graham and shipped him to Denver quick enough. And Cassel was always the #2 QB, despite the fans' confusion as to why; Watson, on the other hand, has watched Belcihick bring in Baker and Smith--both of whom were given every attempt to take Watson's job, and Baker apparently did.

Watson's not the best tight end in the game, but he's pretty good and he's a very difficult matchup for the opposition because of his speed. The tight end that's most likely to become available is Alex Smith.

Smith will probably go for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if Watson did as well. They may give him one more season to prove himself, they may not. We'll know by tomorrow afternoon. I wouldn't cry a river if they sent him to you guys.
