mob16151 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Good news if he goes outside the AFC East. I could see the Steelers, 49ers, or Miami making a move for him. I think the Broncos make a big push for him.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I think the Broncos make a big push for him. I'd be interested to know Peyton Manning's feelings about that scenario.
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 He's definitely a good player but let's be honest. Guys like him would have been murdered in the old NFL. You basically aren't allowed to tackle anymore, so little midgets can cross the field without fear. Definitely respect the guy though and he's a giant pain in the butt. Could you imagine him on Denver? They would be unstoppable (until Peyton chokes in the playoff again).

C.Biscuit97 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 http://www.pro-footb.../L/LargSt00.htm Largent was a little before my time but I hope you're not comparing him to Welker. They only thing they have in common is their skin color. Welker averages 11 ypc. LArgent averaged 18. I highly doubt Welker has the career if he has to worry about Ronnie Lott across the middle. The fear is gone because of the rules. And I think Tom Brady is a little better than Jim Zorn. Just a tad.
D521646 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Although I'd love to see Welker leave town, the possibility of Amendola taking his place scares me.. I think he would be just as good in that system. Except that Amendola breaks much more easily. Tim-
PromoTheRobot Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Does this mean Tom Brady wants his money back? PTR
Mark Vader Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I've been saying for awhile that he'll be gone. I could see the 49'ers making a play for him if the Revis trade falls through. And word is that the Pats might also cut Brandon Lloyd, who was a disappointment for them last year, and who is scheduled to receive a $3M option bonus on 3/16. I'm not joining the "let's sign him" bandwagon. He's a product of being in a good system, IMO. Agree on both points. Welker fit the Pats system. Add to the fact that he's approaching the downside of his career (he's 31) I'd be surprised if he can find the same success on another team. The Patriots have been phasing Welker out too, they rely on their TE's more.

And I think Tom Brady is a little better than Jim Zorn. Just a tad. Skin color, hight, and weight. Wes Welker returns punts, I don't think fear is in his game. My point is without Steve Atwater and Ronnie Lott Wes Welker will play well beyond 32.
Billsrhody Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 So who will the Pats get to replace Welker? Edelman is one possibility, but according to reports the Pats are considering....DAVID NELSON. PTR Nelson would scare me nearly as much in a pats uniform.. he's just a skinnier, slower version of gronk or hernandez.

Doc Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I'm happy he's leaving NE but the Pats are going to sign a very good WR in FA. Who? With the mad money being thrown around, they won't want to pay.
mob16151 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 What rules prevent tackling? And didn't Welker trash his leg getting tackled? Only because he ran into the Patriot murder machine,Mr. Bernard Pollard. Actually IIRC Welker tore up his knee trying to get down before he got hit,he was trying to get down before Pollard killed him.

mitchmurraydowntown Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Wes Welker has agreed to terms with Denver Broncos.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Wes Welker has agreed to terms with Denver Broncos. Think Brady is glad he restructured his contract now ?
Best Player Available Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 When you are a very good receiver, you can choose your team. He decided to go with a team with a good regular season QB.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Glad he's out of our division. Sorry to see him go to another conference powerhouse tho.
