At this stage, very little that can happen in free agency is going to create much of a ripple.

But the Dolphins are still trying to throw cannonballs into the deep end.

Via Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are bringing in free agent wide receiver Wes Welker for a visit today.

Of course, the Dolphins had Wes Welker once before, before he became WES WELKER. But after trading him to the Patriots in 2007 for a second- and a seventh-rounder, Welker has had five 100-plus catch seasons.

His numbers have tailed off each of the last four seasons, and there were reasonable concerns if anyone was going to give him a chance because of age (34) and injuries. But the Dolphins are clearly looking for help at the position, given their pursuit of Greg Jennings.

Now it’s curious to see how much they think Welker has left.
