No, Welker should retire. He has taken way too many brain shots and he is going to have a sh.tty life if he keeps taking them. The Patriots already have 2 guys to replace him and imo re-signing Edelman is their free agent priority. I love Welker as a player and I wanted them to keep him when he was a free agent, however those who saw the end of his career as much closer than i did were right and not only will belichick not even consider bringing him back but he shouldn't. They should double dip at TE, resign edelman, and draft a good WR to join the young group, then they can focus on defense in free agency. they have a lot of work to do to be good enough to win a Lombardi but Welker shouldn't even figure into that discussion.
In all honesty i don't really believe that was the real point of this thread but we will see?
