Default Michael Silver is at it again

Ok, try this again without the political reference.

Apparently, since he has egg on his face with the Brady situation, he is now trying to create a controversy with Welker. From his latest column:

Quote:
“I think he’s crazy,” one friend who plays for another NFL team says of Welker. “He wants a new deal, and the Patriots have [second-year wideout] Julian Edelman lined up as his replacement. If I were Wes, I wouldn’t even consider coming back until October.”
Welker on fast track back to Patriots lineup - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Does Silver have to scour the league to find a "friend" to give him a quote to say something negative about the Pats? If this was a puff piece about the return about a WR from another team, would he include a negative quote like this? Seriously, the guy has it in for the Pats. Clearly this guy has an agenda.

My favorite part of that article is still the part where he stopped just short of referencing Moss' dog-faking.

Apperently every player with 1-3 years left on tehre deal wants a new one and should hold out.

Seriously when has anyone ever even remotely said Welker wants a new deal. Brady i get it's his last year but welker has 2 years left.

I hate the media

Here we go. They're really going to try and turn this into a huge story, and they probably will.

And how pathetic is this...

Now Rosenthal, the usually voice of relative sanity at PFT is spinning this into the reason Wes rehabbed so hard, he was a man on a mission but the mission is to get a new deal...

You know what? I don't doubt Welker wants a new deal. I think every player in the NFL who has outplayed their current deal wants a new deal. Now there is a difference between wanting a new deal and expecting a new deal or demanding a new deal.

I doubt Welker rushed back because he fears for his job or that he won't get a new deal. His return despite reports is not that much quicker than a lot of WRs with ACL tears.

BTW, who is this "friend"? I don't know if any of my friends would call me out like this in the media by implying I am only coming back so quickly because I am concerned about my job security or a new contract. My guess it is one of the many disgruntled former Patriots who said that who may not have even spoken to Welker since the injury if there is a source at all.
