Chiefs better get a New DB fast. Denver and Wes ?

Because a DB is the difference between 2-14 and 13-3?

I mean Welker is fast and all but hes had Tom Brady throwing to him and still has the most drops in the league.

Well, when you catch 110+ catches in 5 of the last 6 seasons - that means your targets are incredibly high and you're going to drop a few.

I say go for it... sign him up, bring him to Denver and lets rock.

I'm a big, huge fan of Welker, but he has seen his drops go up exponentially the last couple years, including in key, key situations.

I want him back, but I understand not giving him Megatron type money. I think his league-wide utility isn't as great as an elite #1 WR, as he needs a highly accurate QB to take advantage of his skill-set, but Manning is definitely a guy who could make use of his skills as well as anybody, so his value to the Broncos is higher than it is to many teams and, of course, it weakens another top AFC contender.

Everyone points to the drops and I get it... but, again when you're one of the most targeted in the league, that's something you just accept with the overall production being what it has been. Welker has been extremely critical to NE's success - you don't just replace him with most FA options. Not when their only other legit threats are TEs.

Frankly last year we had two legitimate pass-catching threats -- Wes and whichever TE was healthy in any given week, because Hernandez and Gronk played, I think, precisely one full game together. Assuming they can stay healthy, then losing Wes means we're still at 2.

In all honesty, we need a Z more than we need Welker back. A legitimate, outside the hash marks WR would make this offense go better than another guy who does the middle of the field, because AH and Gronk can cover that area just fine.

Ultimtely, I don't know how much money Welker wants. If he's thinking $10MM per year for four or five years then, yeah, I can't really see paying that.

I'm sure Brady isn't going to be happy to lose him though. Wes is one of his best friends on the team. His work ethic and toughness are also very hard to match.

Menzie is coming back so we should be good to go.

I love the fact that Denver is breaking the bank on a bunch of old players. We play our cards right we could own this division for a decade if we build our team right.

Well, you're due... SD and OAK are twisting in the wind, DEN is older... not sure how much the likes of Alex Smith, Fasano and Avery scare people , but they're not horrible. Now, go fix your defense.

This is the most hopefully-pathetic post i've read in a while.

Denver is still a ways under the cap, and most of our players are on short term, cap friendly deals. Look @ the Welker deal.. 2 years for 12 million? For Wes Welker that is not breaking the bank by any means.

KC won a total of 2 games last year.. you aren't owning shit.
