Patriots are confusing me - Page 6

What is the deal with Welker? What is it about Welker that is (a) worth the contract and (b) worth a 2nd round pick if MIA doesn't match?

Dan Pires, of The Standard-Times, reports the offer sheet the New England Patriots signed restricted free agent WR Wes Welker (Dolphins) is a seven-year, $38 million offer, according to sources close to the situation. The Patriots would have to give up a second-round draft pick to the Miami Dolphins should the Dolphins decline to match the offer.

There you go, no way Welker is worth the Secret Weapon.

Point proven. There are some ridiculous talents taken just after #60.

Yet again: horrible deal.

Welker is Oprah's little secret.

One thing we know for sure, unlike a draft pick at #60, a FA WR is a sure thing.

Sincerely, Randy Moss to the Raiders

I haven't kept up with what's happening with the Patriots except what I hear from my brother in Maine. They plan to really spend this off-season per what he told me. IIRC, even use up the cap.

As for Moss...well Dillon was considered to be a problem too. It worked out.
Sorry to see Dillon go. I think he could still contribute s/g even if he doesn't get all the carries.

Undertaker #59 · 03-06-2007, 01:01 PM

I think the Dillon/Moss comparison is a bad one. They have both had problems off the field, yes, but as far as I know, Dillon never dogged it while playing.

That's very true. I forgot about that.

Agreed, that's the main issue. But we both know the Pats do their homework, and if we **COULD** get Moss and he **DOES** play with effort, then it would be a tremendous, tremendous upgrade at a position of need.

But that's alot of ifs, couldas and wouldas....
