No.If true, that means he didn't resent the organization for not pegging him as Welker's heir apparent as some in the media had suggested.
Yes.That and/or he didn't see the type of offers he was expecting in free agency (a lot players feel this same way).
Glad to have him. I hope we get the guy who stepped-up at the start of last season and not the guy who fell back with a Tavon-esque finish.

I'm not getting this comment.
1. Edelman had a joke of a beginning to his season. His main production came around Thanksgiving time when there were a handful of games left, so it was much closer to the end than the beginning.
2. Tavon Wilson had a fine end of the season. His struggles were primarily in week 6 vs SEA, but then he made the same mistake in week 7 vs STL on the first drive when he got beat. That however, shouldn't define his season, especially for a rookie. Belichick gave him plenty of snaps after that and he was certainly a contributor to our secondary down the stretch in the specialty role. The word is that Belichick likes him enough to start opposite of McCourty this season, so I doubt he could have had that bad of an end to his year if that were the case.
It wasn't always perfect, but Edelman had 10 catches for 87 yards and one touchdown through the first 10 quarters of the season before he injured his hand against the Ravens on Sept. 23. At that point, he was on pace for a solid 64-catch season and the coaching staff's view of his value was reflected in his playing time.
But after he was sidelined for the next three games because of injury, he never truly found his groove again. Edelman played six games upon his return, totaling 11 catches for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns, and averaging 27 offensive snaps per game over that span -- a noticeable drop.
I do agree if it was between Abraham and Alexander I would go Abraham.
No thanks. I'd rather draft a guy like Justin Hunter. His knees aren't ready to explode out of his legs at any moment.
Doubt we could still afford him if Sanders goes through - and if it's a choice between him and Abraham, put me down for Abraham.
If Sanders doesn't fly through, then I agree on going after DA - I think they would still have time? maybe that's why they didn't wait until the very last minute on Sanders...
I do not follow the college game. Could someone please tell me what defensive position these potential draft choices play?

Wilson grabbed a starting slot before the debacle in Seattle and relinquishing to....gulp....Gregory after which he was relegated to the dime package where he failed to distinguish himself.

Was kind of a no-brainer to bring him back. You get good depth at WR and an elite PR.
