Trade Wes Welker?

[Reckedtrek]

Welker isn't going anywhere until next spring, and hopefully that can be avoided as well.

If a team was given permission to negotiate a contract prior to completion of the trade I am sure he could provide some value in return.

He can not with any team in the league negotiate a new deal. He is barred from a new deal till February. CBA franchise rules. Thus any team has to be able to take 8.9 million right now(pro-rated salary after 1 game).

Then next yr that team can franchise him at 120%, sign him to LTD or let him walk.

Are you related to Tommy James? You know, the guy that wrote, "I think we're alone now".

Shondell...is that you??

 

[Frezo]

No, I'm just a Mirage.

 

[PatsDeb]

Noooooo! Please make it stop! This is supposed to be an off season thread!

Did the runaway train finally derail?

I think we're alone now.....

I guess that means the insane have left the station?

Thank you kind Sir!

Won't be surprised if he is traded for a DB and a WR to play opposite Lloyd. We have Salas and Edelman for the Slot.
The Seymour trade was a shocker so a welker trade wouldn't be crazy.

BB has said it before. Every one is tradable.. Ana's everyone has a role before they are traded

Actually, he's said that there's a small core of players who are NOT tradable, but everyone else is open for discussion.

For example, I would guess that the asking price for GRONK starts at something like ten first-rounders.

Threads like this make me very happy that the ignore thread function was added.

Worst thread of the season and I diagree with just about everything the OP says.
Terrible!

I like Welker as much as anyone, but there's no universe where giving a 32 year old possesion receiver a huge long term deal is a good idea.

If Welker is back next year, its a bad sign for the team going forward.

My God, wasn't this crap in the off-season bad enough? Now I have to wake up to it when we have actual games to talk about?

If he's back next year, it's most likely on a 2-3 year deal that won't cripple the team long-term.

I agree -- but that can't happen due to the franchise rules, correct? Once a player signs the franchise contract he can't renegotiate?

If this is the worst of the season then you all are in for a long ass season.

I didn't think it was bad a lot of over reaction for something that should have just been ignored and allowed to die.

Anyway I say there will be about 8 more welker threads before the season ends.
