Aikman was talking on WFAN last night, and one of the things he said is that Jason Garrett, who was the QB coach for the 'lphins in '05 and '06, claimed that the Dolphins did not want to lose Welker, but the Pats made too good an offer.
If that's true--and I have no reason to believe otherwise--well, isn't it their own bloody fault for not offering him a higher tender* or signing him to a long-term contract before he became an RFA? :bricks:
*I think it would have had to have been a first-and-third tender to keep the Pats away from him, and even then, I'm not 100% sure that, given last year's draft, they wouldn't have coughed up the picks.
