I don't know how Wes Welker did what he did in Seattle. I mean this in a very positive way: In a business with a lot of interesting physical specimens, Welker is a freak of nature. Welker took the hit of a career last week against Pittsburgh across the middle, getting blown up by safety Ryan Clark on a vicious, but clean, hit. I wondered all week how Welker would respond. Would he miss any time? Call in sick? Beg his mother not to make him ever go out there again?
So he went to Seattle, caught 12 balls for 134 yards, added a two-point conversion catch on the decisive touchdown, and helped the Patriots come back to beat Seattle 24-21. Playing without Tom Brady, Welker has become Matt Cassel's ultimate security blanket and threatens to lead the NFL in receptions for the second-straight year. With 96 catches, he's four ahead of Houston's Andre Johnson with three games to play. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who coached Welker in college. "He's indestructible,'' Leach said. Couldn't have said it better. I hope the Patriots realize Welker's incredible value.
No, Peter, they just decided to randomly gamble $18M/5 yr and a second.

Re: Peter King has the understatement of the month
AFC (Three to qualify: One AFC East champion, two wild cards) Indianapolis: 9-4 overall (8-2 in AFC)
Baltimore: 9-4 (7-3)
N.Y. Jets: 8-5 (6-4)
Miami: 8-5 (6-4)
New England: 8-5 (6-4)
He had the Pats conference record wrong unless they moved either SD, Indy,Pitt, miami or NYJ when I wasn't paying attention...
Re: Peter King has the understatement of the month
w3 has worked out better than even those of us who were excited about his arrival here could have hoped. Boomer said today that the guy is All-Pro but won't get it cause he's not 6'4" making deep downfield leaping highlight catches. What a shame. Boomer also said that w3 was the best trade the Pats had ever made and what the Hell was Miami ever thinking?

You might be right about him being under paid now but at the time we gave him a contract he may not have been seeing for at least a year so it was good for him in that aspect plus he didn't have the 2 back to back 100+ reception seasons yet so I don't think there is much for him to complain about.

And it would take the dumbest organization in the history of any sport to not recognize Welker's value, at almost any price. Kind of a condescending remark there by King.

Do you think Pioli and Belichick had difficulty suppressing smiles/giggles/etc. while they were talking to the LOLphins?
