Welker for Harvin

Keeping Welker at the open market price he’ll command is simply not worth it for New England. Welker is great, but, people forget he’s just a slot receiver. The greatest slot receiver of all time? Maybe. But either way, he’s going to command Vincent Jackson dollars when he isn’t a Vincent Jackson player.

The Patriots need a true field stretching receiver to draw attention from Gronkowski and Hernandez, so that they can keep doing their thing as the core of Patriots’ offense.

This guy fits what the Bengals need so badly, it’s almost scarey. Of course even with the cap space to make it happen, Mike Brown will pass on making it happen.

Buzz around New England is that it’s almost a done deal. (5) years @ (8) mil/yr.

Welker is killer in the division games. Makes a huge difference having him around to close out.

Now they just need to get Gronk healthy so he can continue to spike it in opponents face.

Re-sign Welker, guaranteed 13 win season.

Brady just restructured his contract to open up cap space.

Could be to get a deal for Welker.

I think they will retain him.

I was totally jacked at the idea of signing in Danny Amendola to replace Welker, but the kid just can’t stay healthy. Need to figure out a middle ground to let him finish his career in Foxborough. Everybody will be better for it.

Welker isn’t much without Brady … but then neither is Belichick.

Welker out, Hartline in. New England won’t miss a beat and someone will over pay Welker. Book it.

He gets more $ from another team, for sure. He has less catches and less success in any other teams’ scheme. Stay put Welker……

someone will sign him away to weaken the Pats.

Hey Wes, make sure you put a clause in your contract about not being responsible for any throws from Tom Brady that force you to do a full pirouette in order to catch them…especially if it is the last play in a playoff game.

In comes Danny Amendola

Welkah! I hope he’s back. It will certainly be harder for Brady to make another run without him and Brady only has a few years left. With a cold weather Super Bowl coming it might be Brady’s best remaining chance. Maybe third time is the charm for Welker and he’ll make the big play in the big game.
