The way I see it the Patriots will like spend between $10M-$12M on the WR position this offseason.
How should it be spent..
1. Spend most of it to retain Welker and use any remaining on end of the road WR's like we did this season?
2. Spend $7M-$9M on a Mike Wallace or Dwayne Bowe and $2M-$3M on a Danny Amendola and bringing back Edelman?
I'm torn because I feel like something is missing in this offense and how many more hits does Wes Welker have in him?
I've noticed that the Brady Welker combo doesn't respond well to physical teams that hit them in the mouth. Welker took that big shot which drew the flag and immediately dropped the next pass.
Is Brady to reliant on Welker and would taking him out of a comfort zone actually help in the long run?
But I do love WW and the combo and it has been a machine for years..
Thoughts?
