Default Can Welker return to pre-injury form?

I'm a little bored so i thought i'd make my first thread on this forum.Welker is a tough SOB for returning as soon as he did and playing as well as he did but he definately didn't look the same during the 2010 season and that was to be expected considering the injury he suffered.

He's turning 30 very soon and my question is can Welker return to beast mode Welker(from 09) for next season? And in regards to the future how do you see his contract working out? I'm i'm not mistaken he is a free agent after the 2011 season.

He looked very good at the end of last season to me. I'm no doctor, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him take the same step Brady did going from 2009 to 2010.

Welker hasn't made all THAT much money over the course of his career. His next contract will be with whoever pays the most.

Interesting...you don't think he would be willing to play in NE even if it is for less money?

His next contract will be for a significant fraction (potentially over half) of his entire lifetime earnings.

Not gonna count Wes out before a possible monster season, but Edelman shows promise if Wes doesn't work out. Can't get too attached to big players while Belichick runs the show.

I don't believe he's married nor does he have children, if I recall correctly. Of course, he could have other family, i.e. parents, siblings who are alive, etc.

There was nothing wrong with WW last season. What happened was Moss being traded and he got more attention because of that and his numbers went down because of that.

Parents and one older brother.
