Welker follow-up
Carl Francis, the director of communications from the NFL Players Association, clarified the situation regarding Wes Welker today.
Francis said the NFL Players Association is not seeking a review of the process in which Welker was traded from the Dolphins to the Patriots. He added that the association is not concerned that the collective bargaining agreement might have been violated as part of that process.
Instead, Francis said the association had sent a letter of inquiry to the management council seeking details on the contract signed by Welker.
"It had nothing to do with the way the deal went down," said Francis, adding that it wasn't an official grievance, and that Welker and his representatives did not ask the association to pursue any course of action.
