Would you like to have him & If so, what do you think he's worth?

Re: Pats look to be shopping Wes Welker

I cant see them trading him to us if he was going to be dealt. Considering he's on a oe year day, I'd give a 5th if they would and try to convince him to stay for a couple of years. He'd be a great compliment to Stevie.

Ol' BillyBoy is going to bite off his nose to spite his face on this deal.

I don't give a damn how much hype the TE's get, that offense goes into overdrive through Welker, and their lack of using him so far this season has shown.

They must know something everyone else doesn't. Why would you want to get rid of one of the most productive players in your team's history (and 31 is young for a WR) who led the league in receptions just last season, along with the most receiving yards in his career?

How many players has the evil empire gotten rid of that has been wildly successful playing somewhere else?

We grabbed Drew Bledsoe from them, was he that bad ? Welker was also good in Miami & has led the league in receptions yards last season, it's hard to argue with results.

I said WILDLY successful... and Welker's performance prior to being on the Pats doesn't count. It would be the performance POST Pats.

So... even if I included those two... out of everyone the Pats have ever released - those are the only two examples you can think of? I honestly can't think of anyone right off the top of my head, and am about to go offline for the night...

Seymour's done pretty well in Oakland.

This is true, but of the guys they've dumped, how many were a) true stars and not just products of the system and b) still in their prime?

Most likely, something is up with Welker that the rest of the league doesn't know about. Much less likely, but still possible, is that Bellicheck is finally losing it.

It's pretty hard to sit the most successful WR in the NFL from last season, unless it's something personal or injury related. I'm going with something personal, Wes must of really upset the team IMO.

Re: Pats look to be shopping Wes Welker

I'm having Lawyer Malloy and Drew Bledsoe flashbacks, and those are not good. Stay far away. Bellijerk normally strips them of any quality and installs self destruct mechanisms in them before he trades or cuts them

Re: Pats look to be shopping Wes Welker

Welker, like Brady is showing signs of age. He has lost a step & the glue on his hands is dried out. He makes a lot of money this year.........the last on his contract, is only a part time player for the Pats* & will be a FA next year. Anyone that wants him, can wait till the end of the season. He will be MUCH cheaper then.

Re: Pats look to be shopping Wes Welker

Why wouldn't we take a shot on him. If the price is reasonable, let's do it. As for Belichek...remember Al Davis used to be a genius too.......

Re: Pats look to be shopping Wes Welker

i actually think we should go hard after Welker.

I don't think Welker has lost a step; he just killed the league last year. I think he's in the Pats doghouse because they don't like him personally. They don't like the way he's handled his contract situation and he kind of dogged Brady out for being a little on the gay side.

The price will not be reasonable for one. Welker makes over $9 Mill this year. He is in the last year of his contract, so you would just be renting him at a HIGH price. The Pats* would want a draft pick aside from his salary. Last, did you not watch the last Super bowl or any of the Pats* games this year?
