IF this is true -- obviously none of us can be absolutely sure at this point -- either WW's agent did a substandard job, WW disregarded the possibility and went with Denver's offer anyway or the market for WW was soft as silk. A 6 million cap savings after only one playing year? On a contract that is 8 million per year average??. Wow. There are just too many variables (too many of them completely out of WW's control) that could work against him. IMHO anything conspicuously less than production equal to his time with the Patriots and he is more likely to be cut than not (Denver's cap situation obviously is a big factor).
Again IF this is true, this is the best WW could do??? Only one year of certainty followed by being an attractive prospect for being cut? Again, wow...
Welker's agent looks terrible in this.
Perhaps the biggest slap is that Welker went around him and called the Pats to suddenly try to do his own negotiation/representation/whatever.
