We usually don't talk about contracts. I'd like to clear up misconceptions about negotiations. Everyone in our org wanted Wes back.

Kraft said Welker's agents "misrepresented" his market value
Karen Guregian @kguregian
Kraft said Pats last offer had incentives that would have made deal better than Denver's deal.

Wes Welker was our first choice to be with the team. Our second alternative was Danny amendola
Karen Guregian @kguregian
Kraft said the Welker camps contention there was no deal offered is "bogus"
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Kraft said the offer to Welker they made would've paid him $8M in the first year. Insinuates Wes may be cut after first year in Denver
Karen Guregian @kguregian
Kraft called it a "miscalculation of value" in playing poker by Welker's reps
What about the reports that Amendola's deal was done last Tuesday before all of this?
Also noted in the tweets is that Welker's agent is David Dunn - and Dunn was recently hired by Ed Reed. Reporters are putting the two together and conjecturing that means that the chances of reed coming to New England are now very slim.
Reed may or may not come to Foxboro, but Reed doesn't come across as the type of person that is so pliable that another person would be able to tell him where he could or could not play. The agent works for the player, not the other way around.

The arrogance continues. Why is Robert Kraft opining that Wes Welker might be cut after year 1 in Denver?? Why is Kraft commenting on Welker's deal with Denver??
Bob Kraft says he doesn't answer to Tom Brady???
Psssst, hey Bobby you ain't no model franchise without #12.
God I wish Tom Brady had Gisele's balls and mouth. Someone needs to put Kraft in his place. Gisele would in 1.2 seconds.
The arrogance continues.

Ridiculous.
1. The Patriots would be/were a joke of a franchise without Kraft.
2. #12 would be an insurance salesman married to Walmart checkout girl without the the Pats picking him at 199.
well, not sure about the 2nd point but if hopethetically TFB walks away today, you will have to wonder how long until the bandwagon falls apart.
was he drunk as usual when he gave this interview ??

By that logic Jake Bequette, Alfonzo Dennard, Zoltan Mesko and Shane Vereen are all going to hold out and demand a trade, and the extension given to Aaron Hernandez never happened; after all, each of these players are also represented by Dunn and Athletes First.
Kraft in full damage control mode.
Ya cheap bastid.
