It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The Patriots have until Saturday to re-sign their players before other teams can start talking to them. I hope they're not concentrating mostly on the pro days and are ignoring the negotiating. Once their players start getting offers from other teams, anything goes.
Of course Ivan likes this, DB. But I strongly disagree that Welker can get that 10-12MM/yr number. Not for a slot receiver. Why do you think a guy like Victor Cruz who is a hell of a lot more dynamic a receiver than Wes Welker is having trouble getting a deal done.No, it's not completely absurd. What is absurd is people like yourself ignoring the fact that Welker could get 10-12Mil/yr for 3-4 years on the open market with ease. You also forget how dynamic a player Welker is. Yes, he is one piece of the puzzle, but a very valuable piece. And it allows the Pats to focus on other areas going into free agency and the draft.
No way Welker signs a contract with only an 8 mil. bonus. He
will get the 5 year/ 40 mil. 20 mil. guaranteed from the Patriots or
from another team two hours after free agency begins.
