Re: Welker deal a non-issue I am a Patriots and Texas Tech fan. However, I am more into college football then the pros, but when I heard that the Pats were signing Wes, I decided to register to talk about it.

Re: Welker deal a non-issue Not anymore. Yahoo! has got confirmation that an investigation is now underway: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-welkerdeal031307&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Seems to me like Carl Francis was just denying it while the investigation gets underway.

Well, Carl Francis lied: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-welkerdeal031307&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

I am just worried that this whole deal will fall apart. What is the worst thing the league could do to the Dolphins and Patriots?

So, can we take this as being the 100% truth? Why would one source say otherwise and this guy says nothing is being investigated? Could this Carl Francis just be using the old lie to the media trick until after the investigation?

Re: NFLPA Accuses Patriots, Fins of violating CBA on Welker What is the worse that could happen? Does the trade get reversed and the picks returned? Or do the Patriots keep Welker and Miami keeps the picks but they both get fined?

Read again: Sounds like Welker's agent is the one not happy.

If the Pats balk at the 2nd, then it is obvious he won't be leaving Miami. The Dolphins are not dumb enough to accpet less when they are primed for a 2nd rounder.

No, because that is what he is tendered at. Miami either keeps the young talent, or they get a 2nd round pick. Why would they accept anything less?

Miami is not going to take anything lower then the value of a 2nd round pick. Miami holds all the cards, not the Pats.

The Dolphins likely want one of the Patriots 1st round picks. IMO a trade would probably be something like this: Dolphins Get: 1st round pick Patriots Get: Wes Welker and a 4th round pick

Maybe the Welker deal fell through after their meeting today.
