(1) Most of those stiffs have been offered ridiculous long-term contracts. There isn't going to be nearly as many unspent $$s available next year.

(2) This is not analogous to the Seymour trade, as (a) Welker hasn't held out of camp looking for a new deal, and (b) is on record as saying that he's made more money than he ever thought he would make in the NFL, and doesn't particularly care about getting every last dollar.

(3) I can't think of a better way to p*ss off TFB than to trade Welker.

One question.......which one is Mr Nathan Drake?

Like the other guy, you just didn't read the stats post carefully enough.

Last year, Welker's performance in 1TE sets was good. Last yaer, his performance in 2TE sets was not good.

Same knee, same year, same Welker, different # of TEs on the field.

The point of the poster was that he would like to see MORE 2TE offenses and therefore Welker makes less of a difference.

If the Pats do go 2TE, having Welker vs another slot receiver is not so important as Welker is not the same difference maker. I doubt the Welker gets re-upped after this year if BB goes 2TE a lot, which was VERY effective. In that case, it is Seymour all over again. What is most valuable to the team? One year of Seymour? Or five years of a first round pick (Solder). What is more valuable? One year of Welker or one year of Edelman PLUS five years of an OLB, CB, OT, S, whatever, starting next year?

It probably won't happen, but trade him this year of not is a legitimate question, and the stats do make sense when you understand them.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”

Worst idea ever. Welker epitomizes what a Patriot should be. Clutch. Effective. Perennially underrated. Said he doesn't deserve a new contract. No one in the league is like that. He's the best and should retire a patriot.

Why would you trade on of the greatest Patriots ever, historical record setting WR and the greatest slot WR who's ever played? And still for the most part in his prime? come on, thats ridiculous.
