Tight Competition

The Pats finally begin their long journey to the 2009 season on Monday when they hold their passing camp in Foxborough. There should be some good competition for Tight End roster spots this season. The team usually carries three already has veterans Ben Watson, David Thomas, Tyson DeVree and Brad Lisorti from last year. In the off season, they signed free agent Chris Baker from the Jets and traded a 2010 5th round draft choice to Tampa for Alex Smith.

Watson is in the final year of his contract and carries a pretty big salary cap number. Devree and Lisorti saw limited action last season. Baker and Smith are both experienced veterans.

Smith might look familiar to many fans once he is on the field. He will be wearing number 80, previously worn by Troy Brown.
