PS I hope Brady plays just once for another team after his contract ends just to see what he’s been missing all these years AND see just how much HE’S appreciated and/worth!!!!!! Stick it to ‘em all in NE!!!

Who the eff is Belichick anyway??? Other then being an incompetent HC and embarrassment to the game and that franchise, aside from being in the right place at the right time back in 2000, what good has he done for this team and/or the sport???? Anyone?? Look up his résumé of 25 years “experience” before landing in NE in 2000 AKA “The Right Place at The Right Time!” Kraft should have cut him loose years ago after “Spygate” at least we’d still have Welker!! If I had to choose between losing Belicheat or Welker I’d fire Belichick’s all day everyday for the past 5-6 years easily! I’d have more faith in a monkey standing on the sidelines doing his “job” and negotiating player contracts instead of that clown!!!!! They have incompetent leading the senile up in NE right now and it’s about to crash and burn real soon if they continue to leave incompetent and senile in charge!

Kraft is the worst owner in the NFL right now. Its obvious he has no intention of fielding a championship team. The Pats have NO deep threat, and a weak secondary. That will never win a SB. I feel for Brady who has done everything he could to help his team and all Kraft did was put Tom’s money in his pocket. BTW, Amendola won’t even stay healthy until the playoffs.

So apparently the Patriots offense will suffer mightily with Welker gone and Amendola in?
Exactly how established was Wes before coming to N.E.?
The Patriots will be just fine…

Will always love 83 and the way he plays. I will also keep his jersey and wear it when he finishes his career with the Pats in 2-3 years.
That said, (in a non bitter or bandwagon way), how many SB’s did the Pats win with him?

I also doubt that Brady was not consulted all the way through. #12′s a professional and a team player and his restructuring will not be for nothing.

I am shocked and dismayed that so many bandwagon fans here could even doubt for an instant the genius of BB.

NE has a plan! They always do! Don’t you think Brady’s on board? Tom knows it’s a business. He’ll miss Wes but he won’t mind throwing to his new receivers Amendola and Jennings.

Relax. Everything will unfold EXACTLY as BB intends it. It’s the Patriots way.

I’m a Pats fan but I hope Wes lights em up when we play the Broncos. Sad day for Pats fans.

The last time Brady took a below market deal, the Pats let Moss walk. Now Welker. Oh boy.

Julian Edelman will be used in Welker’s place. It’s a shame that Wes had to go out like this, but complaining about receptions because of Hernandez and Gronk’s involvement pretty much sealed the deal on his fate. It was time to move on to a younger slot-receiver who hasn’t taken as many shots as Wes has.

Trust in “the hoodie.”

I’m amazed that the market for Welker was so anemic

Welker turned down a fully guaranteed $24 million year contract last year.

Even counting what he got last season under the franchise tag, he’s getting less over the three years than if he had taken the Patriots $8 million a year guaranteed.

So Welker gambled, rejecting the Patriots 2012 offer and lost (just over $2 million, but he still lost)

Amazing for a guy who has 5 years catching 100 plus catches – do the Broncos and Patriots know something we don’t giving him such low offers?

The Patriots offseason this far has been horrendous. You’ve got tons of probowl DBs in the market and what do they do? Nothing. Welker needs to be resigned. Nothing. Pat Chung walks too. Despite Brady restructuring they did nothing. If I was Tom, I’d be beyond livid

Why do people think the Pats couldn’t match the offer? Obviously they could have but they did not want Welker back

If Brady is that upset over losing Welker, maybe he should’ve went to the Patriots brass and told them he’d be willing to take a paycut to help pay Welker. Again, it’s a business! Tommy will get over it.

Amendola’s agent called to tell him the Pats were interested but Danny tripped on his way to pick up the phone and broke both collarbones and sprained his knee.

How much do you want to bet Tom Brady IS enraged???? Especially now he will be catching passes from Peyton. What I will say is good riddance from the AFC East. @footballady52 🏈

Brady did not take less money. On paper may look that way. But all that contract did is allow him to retire as a Pat.

ONE CATCh away from SB # 4.

Welker can be replaced. Most fans don’t have the faith or vision to see it. That’s OK.

Talk about it next January when the playoffs start.

Sad to see him go and he’s been a beast, but they never won a SB with him. Lets see what they have up their sleeve as the backup plan.
I for one would like to see more down field throws.

Manning needs him more because he cant throw the ball more than 20 yards with any velocity.

I can see it now:
AFC Championship game; Broncos only need a first down to seal the victory. PM relies on “old faithful” to get the job done and Welker drops yet another Manning wobbbly duck.

I’m not sure leaving Brady to go work with Manning isn’t a bit of a shot to the head by Welker. I hope so. He’s been treated poorly in Boston for too long.
