- Welker missed somwehere between 3 days and a week of camp (for what I believe was a death in the family).
You left this out and I think it is a something that is being missed.
Also you might want to include this
- Edelman has a great training camp and beats out two Vets Branch and Gaffney for number 3 WR
The reason I think those are 2 key points is so I can now throw my opinion in the mix. And to try and keep it somewhat fact based I will just say it this way.
What seems more likely Wes was being punished and Edelman being rewarded or the Patriots are paying Wes 9 mil to be the back up for one year while they prove they can replace him?
Now I full realize that my opinion is just that as I dont have the facts but I would contend it is much more logical to think he was being punished rather than phased out.
When has BB ever doled out such a "punishment" before? This is the same coach who was going to let Brian Waters skip all of camp.
I'm not saying you're right, or wrong, and this was part of the preseason speculation I noted in that post of mine, but this would seem to be a major departure, if true.
