They simply asked Welker if he’d like to be thrown to by the very best…..he asked where do I sign. Great pickup Elway

He also dropped a huge third down catch in playoffs that could have helped ice the game and get them back to SB.

News that Amendelo getting 31 million over 5 is perplexing. The word was Welker money was so low because he is a slot receiver…yet Danny gets 10 million guaranteed and way more total, and he is a slot guy too. Seriously, what is going on? Who is Welker’s agent? Helen Keller?

He has had it in for this kid for a while. They had no intention of signing Wes. Just had him running in circles.
Bob Kraft is a liar. He hoped Wes would be a Patriot for life,and they wouldn’t match 2 years @ 6 mil? Good luck Wes. Hope you get a ring.

Everyone’s said it already in this thread. One thing I want to point out: Welker did NOT drop that pass in the SB. It was an awful throw by Brady.

Haven’t these teams realized how easy it is to play WR now that DBs aren’t allowed to touch them at all or hit them hard after the catch?

With these new rules, you can get any moderately talented guy to run short routes over the middle. Case in point, Danny Amendola. Does anybody think he’s some great athlete?

This draft is deep at WR. They cold have easily got a cheap rookie to do what walker will do.

This move shows the broncos are going for it now. They might be garbage when manning retires if they keep making short sighted moves like this. That’s fine if you have a Ring to show for it, but if you don’t then it will be a rough start to the Osweiler era.

Then again, I felt that way when Reggie White left the Eagles and now can only picture him as a Packer. Somewhere Peyton Manning is grinning wide.

To here that he was sign for 6 and the pats couldn’t do that, I don’t get it. Brady just got screwed, what did he take a pay cut for? How did you let a guy who catches 100+ balls a season get away, even after being bench at the beginning of the season he still ended up the leading receiver. We’re they still mad at the dropped pass in the SB? Try letting a guy catch a 70 yarder for a TD (Moore) that’s a stinger there. Pats will regret not retaining welker, good news for my broncos thouh

Thanks for all the good years, Welker. Good luck

In that system, the TE’s can largely pick up the slack (if they stay healthy), not to mention a healthy Edelman and whatever they draft/pick up in FA. Welker had a LOT of catches, but he had some big drops.

This must be one of the biggest steals in FA history!

Unbelievable.

He either must hate the Pats or the Pats must’ve been offering him a combination of peanuts and Monopoly money!

They’re down to one proven wideout who didn’t even have a good year with them. $6 million seems reasonable for a guy who’s proven himself to you year after year and is a perfect fit with the club.
