Come on down big fella

[O.city]

I'll allow it.

[staylor26]

He’ll be a Patriot if they want him bad enough.

[New World Order]

He already won a SB with NE

Now it's time to win one in KC.

[-King-]

Yes ... This would be so perfect in so many ways.

[BigRedChief]

Why not? We need a backup TE. Sounds like a great fit. Surely he still knows how to block, run those 5-10 yard under routes? He can get himself another ring this year. :)

[BigRedChief]

He’ll be a Patriot if they want him bad enough.They tell him he's a starter. thats it, hes a Patriot.

[kcclone]

He’ll be a Patriot if they want him bad enough.

Who else do the Patriots have at TE? They probably have the biggest need obviously, however you could argue that Watson playing TE2 with Kelce would actually be more beneficial to Watson's production than playing TE1 at New England.

Either way, them losing Gronk is going to hurt them far more than their fans probably realize.

[carcosa]

Have we signed this peaceful ship yet???

[Red Dawg]

He must be broke. He's old and no longer thirsty to win. Pass.

[staylor26]

:facepalm:

[Simply Red]

-- I hope we do! I also hope he ships all over Chipotle (KC Area!) IMHO!

[Kman34]

If fucking Antonio Gates can still get open this piece of shit surely can too... Why not??

[chinaski]

Ben Watson, his initials are B&W

B&W also means Black & White, which is the racial makeup of our team.

B is the 2nd letter in the Alphabet. He would be TE2 in the Depth Chart

'W' in Watson upside down is 'M' - M is the first letter in Mahomes :eek:

Watson is the last name of another Kansas City sports legend, Tom Watson. :)

It's meant to be!

What he said. Throw in an obligatory"piece of shit" though

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

He will go to NE

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

The one thing about Veach is if he wants a guy bad enough he will get him. Imagine Watson on this team.....

[Hoover]

He will go to NE

Why? Does he really want to be "the guy" and carry a huge work load?

He had 35 grabs, 400 yards, and 2TDs last season with the Saints. I can see him wanting to come play with the new kid Patty Mahomes in KC. And I bet he would see those numbers increase to 600 yards and 6 TDs being the #2 TE here.

He would be the #1 in NE and would get to come home. Now I can see him coming to KC and also trying to repair the image that the media gave us over Tyreek. Watson is one of the good guys in the NFL

He will go to NE

Brooke Pryor could write a up a piece for him

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Brooke Pryor could write a up a piece for him

Watson is one of the good guys in the NFL. Pryor will still find a way to fuck it up. Probably say since he was on Fox News that he’s a racist or something like that

isn't he like 75?

He's like 1000 years old. I don't think he really cares about numbers at this point.

[ptlyon]

He's like 1000 years old.

Guess not

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Watson signs with NE

[BWillie]

Why? This guy is like 4 years older than I am, and I'm fucking old.

Of all teams, the Patriots.. :#

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

He's not coming here to sit behind Kelce and to do two tight end sets exclusively you dumbfucks!
Jesus! Why does this dumbass thread even exist???

[Jerok]

Meh he's infinity years old and he will be like an older Gronk

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Of all teams, the Patriots.. :#

And there you go. Duh. Derp!

[tatorhog]

He might be the best locker room presence this team could ever bring in, and would offer marginally better production than the Brownies newest drop machine. However if he's signing with NE, fuck him with a splintered board.

How bad can the Belldozer really be anyway?

[chinaski]

Watson signs with NE

Ben Watson, his initials are B&W

B&W stands for Brown & Williamson - A former tobacco company. Tobacco Kills!

B is the 2nd letter in the Alphabet. B is the first letter in Bastard

'W' in Watson upside down is 'M' - M is the first letter in Mother Fucker

Watson shares a last name with Tex Watson, a member of the Manson Family.

Go to hell!

[Simply Red]

Knew it. This 'gets to play with Patrick!' bullshit - hasn't come to surface yet. Hopefully it will after we win the Superbowl next season.

[carcosa]

Anyone who signs with the Patriots is a front-running turd with no dignity or self-respect

[srvy]

Id like to have Ben but I think he is using us to get as money as he can from NE who he will sign with.

[Redbled]

They tell him he's a starter. thats it, hes a Patriot.

Agree totally.

[ChiTown]

Why? This guy is like 4 years older than I am, and I'm ****ing old.

Then you don't know wtf old is.............

[RunKC]

TE Is a far bigger hole than corner at this point. At least at corner we have guys who can be decent and have played well before. We have a whole lot of nothing behind Kelce

[RealSNR]

"Is Ben Watson coming? Should we wait?"

"Ben is 8000 years old. We're not going to have Ben on the Chiefs."

This is where Watson started his career at. No ill will

[Rain Man]

Remember that time he destroyed Champ Bailey when Bailey was showboating.

Um, that was cool.

I'm sure he's relieved that you have no ill will.

I'm surprised to read that.

CB is a much bigger hole.

Not even a bit concerned about the TE position.

What Veach will do at the CB position could make or break the season.

[JakeF]

If you are thinking about retiring you already have.


How much will you get out of a guy who has one foot out the door?

[Reerun_KC]

So do we have a chance?

[TribalElder]

So do we have a chance?

Nah, this guy is face deep in a huge bowl of New England’s finest dicks-n-chowder

Agree that CB is a much bigger hole. Not sure it will make or break the season, but I guess it "could" under the right circumstances. They will find someone to to replace the production of D. Harris at TE. And it won't be that difficult.

The combination of Breeland/Fuller/Ward/Mathieu/Thornhill has the potential to be pretty good. Like any other team, injuries could be a huge factor for any of the position groups. But barring injury, I have no reason not to believe that Spags will have his 4-3 outperforming Sutton's 3-4 hybrid. That said, I would LOVE to see the Chiefs pick up Peterson from AZ in a trade.

Apparently they're letting his roster exemption expire, which will make him a free agent. Bring his old ass in for a look???

[Why Not?]

Apparently they're letting his roster exemption expire, which will make him a free agent. Bring his old ass in for a look???

Can he play o line?

[carcosa]

Can he play o line?

Why not!

[Amnorix]

I wasn't thrilled the Pats let him go. Perhaps an indirect consequence of the AB signing as the Pats are up against the cap and letting him go frees up $2.0 million of cap.

[Warrick]

39 y/o is just a couple months away, no thanks.

[scho63]

Is Ben Watson going to drive to Patrick Peterson's house, pick him up and then head over to Jalen Ramsey's and get him too?

[Mile High Mania]

Meh... he'll sign whatever the minimum is for the best possible team that wants him. Nothing really to see there.

[RobertWeathers]

All yours.

You'll sign him and he'll feed back intel back to the Dynasty.

[JohnnyHammersticks]

Ben Watson, his initials are B&W

B&W also means Black & White, which is the racial makeup of our team.

B is the 2nd letter in the Alphabet. He would be TE2 in the Depth Chart

'W' in Watson upside down is 'M' - M is the first letter in Mahomes :eek:

Watson is the last name of another Kansas City sports legend, Tom Watson. :)

It's meant to be!

And his first name is Ben, just like the shrooms you've been eating. :hmmm:

It is meant to be. :eek:

[R8RFAN]

He already won a SB with NE

Now it's time to win one in KC.

[dannybcaitlyn]

Bring him in if he can block like Jason Dunn.

[Chiefaholic]

At or near league minimum, bring him in for a physical

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Absolutely sign him yes.

[-King-]

39 y/o is just a couple months away, no thanks.

It's not like we're signing him to be the tight end of the future or anything.
