Fred's a comedian. Nobody takes him seriously, even himself. Posted from Patsfans.com App for Android

Fred is a funny bastard miscast as a sports guy. The way he gets worked up over petty bull**** is all part of the act. And yea, he's not a Pats fan, but at least he's honest about it (unlike some people in this town). This whole thing is a non-story, everybody's just doing their job.

You're delusional if you think Welker's contract will only be a 5-7 million cap hit. And yes, even 5-7 million can get you one top level starter or 2-3 depth signings if you spend your money wisely.

Last time I checked, you can't franchise another team's player, so that number is irrelevant. Someone will pay more because there will be a bidding war. There are plenty of teams with deep pockets and even deeper needs.

Not as high as you. If you actually read my post, you'd know that I was talking about a team other than the Patriots offering that kind of money. Reading comprehension: it's important.

DeSean Jackson of all people got 5 years at $51 million LAST year. Wes consistently racks up over twice as many receptions, more yards, and more TDs. Someone will offer substantially more than that for his services.

Contracts always go up, and Welker has the numbers to argue for Fitzgerald money.

That seems fair, but I doubt it will be enough to beat out the competitors. I won't venture into speculation about exactly how his contract is budgeted; however, I will go out on a limb and guess that he will get signed at 5 years, $75 million. Thirteen mill for the first two, fifteen the...

Wes ain't stupid, he won't sign a contract for funny money, especially after last year's negotiations. In my opinion, you'd have to guarantee most of his contract. Plus, the Pats will get outbid if they take that tactic.

His market value is probably more in the 10-12 million range. I personally would rather invest the majority of funds into the OL and defensive veterans, knowing that the Patriots offense would slip from #1 of all time to #5 in the league, with the expectation that the D would go from Top 20 to...

What is the absolute most that you would pay Welker? He might want more than that.

Oh, so what would you do, pay Welker well over half of your free agency budget so you can continue to have great offensive numbers in the regular season while losing in the playoffs because you can't afford to pay for a physical D, AGAIN? And you call me an idiot?

They MUST re-sign Talib, draft a stud DT, get a coverage LB, and take lots of shots on big physical DBs and WRs. I love Welker, but he won't resign at those numbers, and they'll probably need to move on. Plus, he's taken one too many shots, one of these days he won't be getting up after...

To add to that, maybe go with a lot of Cover 3 looks and have McCourty lining up more towards left center.

Hopefully this gets weirder, his draft stock falls, and BB can pick him up in the late rounds.

And your point is?

...back to Ridley. 1,263 rushing yards, 12 TDs. Best NE back since Dillon.

There's only one butt fumble.

Lloyd is an idiot savant WR.

Oh Oh should've picked that up.
