Welker didn't miss a damn thing. He reported to the first OTA. He was the best WR in camp by all reports. Just seemed to get suddenly squeezed out in the pre season just like Branch. He mentioned he'd have liked to have gotten more reps.
Now, I don't know whether he knows something or is just guessing and hoping he guesses right. But Breer tweeted this:

... And I think what you'll continue to see is when Patriots really HAVE to have it, Welker will be in. Because he's still the best option.

On the whole Welker thing ... To be clear, I don't think it's personal. I do, however, think it very well could be business related.
Now that sounds to me like he thinks they still like him, just don't want him to be significant part of their plans going forward. Which would beg the question WTF possessed you to franchise tag him then... Hedging your bets?
If this is the case, BB is being stupider than I'd have thought possible. Cutting back on Welker after paying him all that money, and shorting the WR corps as well? He might as well give Brady a daily kick in the balls while he's at it.
