Im sorry. I will and always will believe Kraft over any sports agent. Always. Worst case scenario is that he believes he is telling the truth but is mistaken or misled.

If one side relies on the words of Kraft while the other side relies on Borges and Felger,
my opinion is that Kraft's words are less nonsensical by a whole lot.
I'm not any KoolAid drinker and I'm still steamed that Wes is gone, but guys like Borges and Felger are proven agenda-driven liars.
I still agree with Bedard that the truth is somewhere between the Pats and Welker's position on what went down. My guess is that both sides did a lot of right and a lot of wrong.
People will come down on whatever side they usually come in on when it comes to whether you side with the Pats or the player. Unfortunately, none of us are going to know what really went down. We will just believe who we want to believe.
One thing I do know for sure is that Kraft feels pretty burned. He clearly put himself on the line on wanting to bring Welker back and he feels the agent screwed up the process. He typically doesn't talk about failed negotiations like this personally. Now the question is whether he just doesn't know the whole situation or his side of the story has more truth than some want to believe.
I personally believe that for the most part, Kraft's side of the story is what he believed happened. The one thing I don't know is that what happened or what his perception of what happened is. I doubt he was actively involved in the entire process.
If you believe that Welker only has 2 years left then it would be possible to believe that Kraft wasn't lying when he said they wanted Kraft to be a Patriot "for life," other than that it is clear who is the liar and it isn't the agent.
Welker's production was off the charts but they wanted to pay him like Chad 16 REC Ochocinco.
Listening to Kraft audio...
So Kraft says we had to free up money to "improve our D, which we know we have to do".
Oh really? And how have we improved? Wilson, seriously? Other than that we have the same team, thus far. Mind you this was a guy that was benched as a coverage liability. Underwhelmed...
Too bad FA is over, the draft is already done, and we're past the trading deadline. They really should expand the offseason in the next CBA to longer than one week.
Are you at all familiar with the english language term, "thus far"?
The Patriots had years to get this done right, and they chose not to. Kraft is just trying to put lipstick on the pig.
Actually i need to stay here so I can participate in your upcoming thread about Ocho>Welker

As I said, I had moved on from this and was focused on next years team,and anyone who has read my posts over the last week knows that, it is the Welker haters who are keeping this going. They want to talk sh.t and then scream and cry when there is any rebuttal to their bullsh.t. In the two plus years this has been going on i haven't started a single thread on it, on the other hand the Welker haters have started dozens and dozens. If you guys want it to stop then simply shut up about it and move on.
