Wesley Welker XVI is going to test the market.....ok gang, bring him in, etc.
I'd let him run slot for my team any day.
______________________________________________ New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker has no plans to re-sign with the team before first testing the free-agent market next week, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Unrestricted free agents can officially sign with other teams starting Tuesday. Welker, 31, received the Patriots' franchise tag last offseason but New England didn't issue a franchise tender to any player for the 2013 season before this past Monday's deadline. It was the first time since 2008 that the Patriots opted not to use the tag. If the Patriots had used the tag on Welker again this offseason, he would be entitled to a 20 percent raise from his 2012 salary of $9.5 million (paying him $11.4 million in 2013). Welker finished last season with a team-high 118 catches and 1,354 yards, along with six touchdowns. He had a team-high eight catches for 117 yards in New England's 28-13 AFC Championship Game loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but he also had a drop on a key third down in the second half. Welker became the first player in NFL history with five 110-catch seasons and has averaged 112 receptions during his six seasons with the Patriots. |

Would be a nice pickup but if we don't break the bank Pats will match.

When is the last time he missed a game, two or three years ago? Plus he still had well over 1000 yards last year.
Yup, he would definitely be worth a look.

I don't see him being productive without Brady. His best bet would be to stay with the Patriots. They are not going to pay him top dollar, but he will still make millions.

Am I kidding about what? That his best bet would be staying in New England? No I'm not kidding. That system and having Brady gets him over a hundred balls a year. He won't be that productive anywhere else, even Denver.

He and his Hooters waitress wife can both perforate their larynx with chicken bones from eighth-rate wings.

I think there's only a couple of QBs with whom Welker would approach the production he's put up with Brady, and Alex Smith ain't one of them.

I agree. He will get $9 million a year for 2-3 years. Smith just ain't a match for him.
