Schefter reported that we signed Welker to an offer sheet a while ago, yet Reiss has said nothing about it in is blog.

What's going on Mike?

I think Reiss is waiting for something more or less official, or at least from one of his own sources.

He was the first one today to mention the Pats wanting to sign Welker.

schefter has only said we plan to make an offer sheet. Reiss usually waits for things to be more certain than plan thats why we all take his word as gospel.

I posed this question earlier, because I was a little confused. I mean, it is Schefter, who everyone keeps telling me is reliable, but why isnt it being reported anywhere else??

I have been waiting for even a second source. Tomase picked it up but he is going on schefters rumor. I am hoping it is just that the RFA process takes longer and not that it is a false rumor.

John Clayton reported that the Pats are planning to sign Welker as well. I've rarely seen Clayton say something like that and have it not pan out.

I don't understand why it is always "plan" to sign him to the offer sheet. Does it have to wait until Monday or some such thing?

PATS SIGN WELKER TO OFFER SHEET

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Patriots plan to sign receiver Wes Welker, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet. The deal would be for six years, and would have a value of $38.5 million.

Though we can find no reports on this, our guess is that the contract offer will contain a poison pill provision that makes it fully guaranteed under circumstances that would apply if Miami matches, but not if Welker moves to New England.

Hey, some folks around the league might not like it, but the poison pill is the law of the land until the NFL and the NFL Players Association agree to language that takes it out of the CBA. So while on one hand it might be regarded by some in the league as "dirty" to use the poison pill, the fact of the matter is that you either do what you can to be competitive, or your ass gets fired.

The Pftrumormill has absolutely zero credibility.

You might as well get your news from the Enquirer.
