Men right now Welker IMO is expendable. I mean Slot WR are dime a dozen, not as good as Welker, thats obvious, but guys like Edelman,Breaston, Amendola, Camarillo, Jordy Nelson, Shipley,Crayton ...I mean that's not Reche Caldwell -Tim Dwight-Doug Gabriel-Ben Watson year.
85-Branch-Edelman-Tate-Price-Gronk-Hernandez
Umm no...i don't want to rely on any of those guys to make those tough catches.
Jets will follow Ocho with Revis now. That leaves alot of options who are pretty tough to cover.

Hey, you saw the stats I had a while ago. Welker was half as productive last season when comparing 0 or 1 TEs to 2 or 3 TEs. I'll gladly use 2 TEs every play with Branch and Ochocinco on the outside and get a 2nd for Welker while I can.
He was coming off a torn ACL. Of course his stats were down. Under the circumstances his stats were pretty amazing.
I'm as big a draftnik as anyone here. But it drives me nuts when some people value draft picks over productive players.
Chad Johnson
Wes Welker
Julian Edelman (Wes 2.0)
Brandon Tate
Deion Branch
Taylor Price (played well in his limited time last year)
That's 6 WR's.
We could easily ship Wes and not miss a beat. He's older now and didnt have such a great season last year.
What do you think we could get for West? Would you want to trade him?
What is the roster size on opening day?
I'm serious. I heard a report that their is no stipulation about the 3rd QB being active but can't play until the 4th qtr unless the other two do not come back. Is it 53 still? If 54, is a receiver the extra man?
Until I know how much has changed it is like debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. (BTW, standard pin is 7 angels, unless they are fat.)

Some of you guys are arrogant. Welker is very tradable. Same way Warren was releasable. BB is one to surprise people with his moves. None of us here sees what he sees. If he thinks Edelman is adequate or we need to change scheme then Welker could be GONE.
The only move that would shock me is Brady leaving and that is because there are not 32 good quarterbacks in the NFL

Holy smokes at the responses in this thread. There is some rationale to the trade if it happened. Do we all forget the Seymour trade?
Have you seen what some stiffs in Free agency have been offered? Next year Welker is going to be offered 8 mil a year and jump ship. (no way for a 31 year old slot WR pats will offer that)

Ok, let's assume we do trade Wes, we certainly don't do it now, training camp just started, you really don't know what you have in many of the other guys. How much have they developed? What happens if one of the other receivers gets injured and you already traded away one of TFB's favorites? Just because we have Chad doesn't mean he's going to be an automatic stud, he's going to need time to learn the offense and adapt to TFB's way of doing things.
You know how you don't count your chickens before they hatch? It's an especially bad idea to count them, sell them in advance, and then plan on paying your mortgage with the future receipts.
