Seems the Pats have an eye for the draft for a receiver. We have not done so great on that end since Terry Glenn. To be fair, wildly over paying for Bowe or Wallace seems stupid and just not a ton of selection out there in FA. Gotta run what ya brung.
I have $200 that says Amendola scores more td's this year than Welker in 2012 and has 10+ more receptions for more than 15 yards. He is a better fit IMO.
Not meant to offend but maybe too many Fantasy Football stat types answering this question. Its an easy one: Troy Brown. A total winner and comes up huge when needed. His strip in the San Diego Divisional game years back was just tenacious play; so many other things. Welker is an amazing player...
Just my two cents but this was a whopper of a contract from the Ravens for Elvis. Ellerbe was way more important for their defense to retain and even Kruger may have, MAY HAVE, been a better cog for their scheme. Weird singing for that kind of money IMO.
I am not a Kool Aid drinker but as I see it with Gronkowski and Hernandez 100% and most importantly a Chandler Jones healthy and with an entire off season of upper body work/conditioning I am excited. So much time until the season starts, we will fill in some holes no doubt.
Keep seeing that Wilson will be a liability in coverage and I can't but chuckle as if the Patriots don' give up the most deep pass balls in the league. Maybe he is not a vintage Neon Sanders but he could be an upgrade no matter what.
When Julius Peppers was a free agent I was actually sweating with excitement at the idea of landing him. 6 years at 91 million is why the Bears have no offensive line. You cannot pay everyone. Have to pick your spots.
