Unless, of course, you're right and 32 NFL GMs are wrong. That must be it...

He's a slot receiver, there isn't a huge need for a SLOT receiver out there right now, and there aren't many teams with enough cap room to manager their free agency frenzy AND the draft, while re-signing their current players.
Its a lot different than say, a Franchise QB like Peyton Manning hitting free agency.
Guess what, 32 teams didn't take a stab at Peyton Manning, why? They didn't NEED a QB, or they thought they couldn't AFFORD a Peyton Manning.
Same applies here, but your talk makes the assumption that Wes Welker is merely a product of his offense.
If that were the case Edelman would have done the same when given the opportunity, he didn't. Welker is the real deal, and the Broncos just got him on a huge discount, and every talking head in the NFL is agreeing with what I have to say right now, and disagreeing with the detractors of Wes Welker.
