Sorry in advance for the headline."Hey http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-jason-mccourty-jersey , so...a former Patriots first-round draft pick is reportedly considering un-retiring just a couple months after the 2019 season ends that just so happens to play a position that the team that drafted him 32nd overall in 2004 happens to be remarkably thin at, to the point when Pats Nation is praying nightly to the football gods that a sweet tight end prospect falls to...pick 32. In 2019. What a world.According to Pro Football Talk, the retired life just may not be enough for super-veteran tight end Ben Watson, who played 14 seasons in the NFL and may be ready to give it one more go. Well, 14 seasons if you don’t count the 2016 season with the Ravens when he unfortunately tore his Achilles tendon in training camp.Here’s what makes this potentially noteworthy for the Patriots, though - Ben isn’t trying to just come back and play one more year for (insert 1 of 16-20 teams that don’t have their....”act” together here). It’d have to be “the right offer from the right team”, and your brain can absolutely feel free to run with it from there.The whole report is as follows (emphasis mine):And here’s the Schefter report PFT was referencing:Congrats in advance to Ben, and while the word “may” is certainly doing A LOT of heavy lifting in Schefty’s tweet, it’s easy to make a list of teams you could count on one hand that you could figure would fit the bill.If one were to speculate (which is exactly what I’m about to do), Watson’s short list probably includes his last team, the Saints, where he spent 2013-2015 and then came back for 2018 after his stint with the Baltimore Ravens, who just spent a first-round pick on Hayden Hurst and re-signed Nick Boyle to a 3 year Kyle Van Noy Jersey , $18 million contract, so they’re probably out. An offer for the TE2 spot in Kansas City might be tough to turn down, and the same probably goes for the LA Rams where he could be a part-time player in an offense that lets everyone eat. Other than that, who’s left? In pure football terms, the Steelers could make sense, although they’re A) kind of tight against the cap at the moment, and B) well, everything else....the Bears or the Falcons could be a fun offense to play in, and *maybe* the Texans make the cut with the Bill O’Brien connection despite their knack for getting bounced on Wild Card weekend. That’s about it, right?The working assumption, of course, is that he’d be open to re-joining New England, given that Belichick and TB12 obviously aren’t going anywhere Womens Chris Hogan Jersey , and maybe he can add to this guy: Also, as Schefty’s article on ESPN points out, Watson has sneakily climbed his way near an all-time tight end list - Ben’s at 14th all-time in receptions by a tight end with 530, and he’s pushing 6,000 yards with 5,885 and 44 touchdowns, and tack on 234 more yards and 3 more scores in the playoffs. He’s also gotten snaps in (if not started) every regular-season game except one for the past six seasons (again, excluding the lost year in Baltimore), so he’s been remarkably durable even as a part-timer, given that, you know, the man’s about to turn 39 years old.Just a couple months ago, this conversation could’ve seemed ridiculous http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-cannon-jersey , and maybe it still does - but your greatest tight end to ever walk the earth retiring and his partner in run-blocking crime heading down to South Beach kind of tend to have a way of changing the ballgame a little bit.Either way, let’s see how the draft shakes out this week. We’re so close. The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to have to play a lot better if they are going to beat the New England Patriots in the rematch of the AFC title game next weekend.The opening weekend was ugly. Loads of penalties. Offensive struggles. A hamstring injury to leading rusher Leonard Fournette, and a near meltdown by the vaunted defense after linebacker Myles Jack gave Jacksonville a 20-9 lead with a 32-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter.For now, the Jaguars will settle for a 20-15 season-opening victory over the Giants on Sunday that spoiled the New York debuts of coach Pat Shurmur and halfback Saquon Barkley and the return of star receiver Odell Beckham Jr."We were talking about it in the locker room," said quarterback Blake Bortles , who threw a short touchdown pass and helped Jacksonville take a 13-6 halftime lead. "You never really know how Week 1 is going to go. You have an idea. You know you've been going against a pretty good defense all camp and all preseason long. But to come out and find a way to win when you didn't have your 'A' game as an offense, I think it's pretty special."The Jaguars won because their defense, which scored seven touchdowns last season, carried them. It limited New York to three field goals and stopped a late drive after Beckham caught passes of 21 and 19 yards to help the Giants reach the Jacksonville 36.However, the Jaguars held, unlike in the AFC title game, when the Patriots scored the final 14 points to advance to the Super Bowl.If there was a negative, it was giving up a 68-yard touchdown run to Barkley less than a minute after Jack scored. The rookie finished with 106 yards on 18 carries.Still Eric Rowe Jersey , the win gave Jacksonville a positive note ahead of a home matchup with New England, which beat the Houston Texans 27-20.Jack, who scored on a pass tipped by Abry Jones, is looking forward to it."It's definitely on my mind. As soon as that clock hit double zero, I was already thinking about New England," he said. "I can't wait for that game, and I'm looking forward to Jacksonville being out there."Coming off a 3-13 season, the Giants refused to take solace in a good effort, not with a game at Dallas next weekend."It's disappointing when you lose," Shurmur said. "The one good thing is our team fought from the front to the back. They fought all the way through the game. Unfortunately as is the case in a lot of these games that are close, we just didn't make enough plays."Here's some things we learned in the Jaguars win:O-LINE WOES: The Giants offense line remains a work in progress. The revamped group needs to give Eli Manning (23 of 37 for 224) time to find his talented receivers and open holes for Barkley.Facing a tough pass defense, Manning spent most of the game hitting short passes. There wasn't much time to look downfield.Ereck Flowers didn't have a smooth transition going from left to right tackle. He was whistled for a tripping call and a hold on the opening drive. Left tackle Nate Solder also picked up a holding call.TOO MANY FLAGS: The Jaguars biggest problem was penalties. They were called 11 times for 119 yards."We know that we can be better than that," coach Doug Marrone said. "At the end of day Womens Shaq Mason Jersey , we were able to get the win. If you keep on that track, that stuff will bite you."BECKHAM BACK: Stop worrying about the left ankle Beckham broke in October. In his first game in almost 11 months, the NFL's top-paid receiver was the best player on the field. He caught 11 passes for 111 yards and drew two pass interference penalties late in the first half to set up a field goal."Just being out there and competing with the best, I wish we would have gotten a win, but at the same time it's a good starting point for our team," Beckham said.INJURIES: Marrone wasn't concerned about Fournette, who finished with nine carries for 41. Backup T.J. Yeldin led the team with 14 carries for 51 yards and Bortles had four for 42. Jacksonville rushed for 137 yards."He's had it before, he knows how to treat it," Marrone said of Fournette. "That makes things pretty optimistic, which normally I'm not that optimistic."GIANTS NEW DEE: Coordinator James Bettcher's 3-4 scheme limited the Jaguars to 305 yards, including 121 in the second half. Janoris Jenkins had an interception and the Jags tight ends and receivers combined for 12 catches, with only two plays being 20 or more yards.
