Supposedly we're gonna sign him to a big RFA contract that would cost us our #2 pick. Huge $$$ but a good chance it's not as big as it seems. That's about it, no official word yet.

welker signed an offer sheet for i believe $38.5 mill/ 6 years. miami has seven days to match the offer, if they match it then he stays with them. if they dont then we get him but we have to give up our second round pick to miami. so we'll know in about a week if we got him (which we prob will, dosnt look like miami will match that offer)

you forgot a piece: plus millions and millions of dollars.

early reports on the welker deal put it in the $3 mil/year range (not counting poison pill).

That forgotten "piece" is what everything revolves around, as had Branch sucked up the cash - there would be no Koppen and most likely no Thomas either.

Hey, I'm a homebrewer, too. I'm putting something in for the Longshot contest; what kinds of brews are you guys into?
