What's going on Mike?
schefter has only said we plan to make an offer sheet. Reiss usually waits for things to be more certain than plan thats why we all take his word as gospel.
According to PFT Schefter said it has already happened.
reread the pft it says planned in the body of the text despite the headline saying signed.
I posed this question earlier, because I was a little confused. I mean, it is Schefter, who everyone keeps telling me is reliable, but why isnt it being reported anywhere else??

John Clayton reported that the Pats are planning to sign Welker as well. I've rarely seen Clayton say something like that and have it not pan out.
I don't understand why it is always "plan" to sign him to the offer sheet. Does it have to wait until Monday or some such thing?
PATS SIGN WELKER TO OFFER SHEET
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Patriots plan to sign receiver Wes Welker, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet. The deal would be for six years, and would have a value of $38.5 million.
Though we can find no reports on this, our guess is that the contract offer will contain a poison pill provision that makes it fully guaranteed under circumstances that would apply if Miami matches, but not if Welker moves to New England.
Hey, some folks around the league might not like it, but the poison pill is the law of the land until the NFL and the NFL Players Association agree to language that takes it out of the CBA. So while on one hand it might be regarded by some in the league as "dirty" to use the poison pill, the fact of the matter is that you either do what you can to be competitive, or your ass gets fired.
The Pftrumormill has absolutely zero credibility.
You might as well get your news from the Enquirer.
PFT uses this schefter story as their source but yes I agree PFT is a place to get rumors and I suggest everyone who goes there to wait for better sources before getting excited about what is there. I also suggest that if something says plan that you temper your enthusiasm as well.
The difference is Tomase and Reiss are supposed to be responsible news sources. They have to be careful what they say. If they kept writing headlines that were lies like that, they would get fired.
Sorry not exactly sure what your point is???
I said PFT is for rumors

My point is, this is a rumor. It hasn't happened yet, but it seems there are reliable sources with information that it probably will.
Say I'm PFT guy. I watch a game and Cleveland's receivers stink. I write a headline,
Moss headed to Cleveland?
That's not a rumor, because I just made it up. There are no sources from Oakland or Cleveland. It's what you call BS.
