Just joking.
I'm good with the tag to be honest. I love Welker but he'll be 32 this time next year and we have a lot of young players who need to be re-signed. I'm not sure I want to put $8M or so a year for, say, three more years into Welker. As awful as it is to say I might let him play this out and put the future money into the youngsters (Chung, Gronk, Hernandez, etc).Would rather a deal be done than just an expected Tender signing,but it is what it is.
I think he's going to play out the season, put up 100+/1000+, and get a 3/$19 contract in the offseason.
I'd peg his value at somewhere between 8-10 million a year
Totally out there, wild hypothetical: what if Welker goes through the year without an extension, and Lloyd outplays him? How does that affect contract negotiations given the philosophy of the team?
I love Welker, and he seems to have a really good relationship with Brady, off the field as well as on.
I wouldn't.
Especially when it's getting close to Gronk & Hernandez needing extensions and if it came to Welker or the 2 TE's....I'll take the TE's every time.
