With just over a week to go before the deadline for the Pats to work out a long term deal with Wes Welker, Greg Bedard weighs in on the situation:

Bedard thinks the two sides are about $6M apart in guaranteed money, which is essentially the difference in the $16M offer the Pats made last year and the $21M that Welker would get if he played this year and next under the franchise tag. Bedard also discusses the possible issue of Aaron Hernandez wanting to be viewed as a WR instead of a TE for the purposes of his next contract and a possible franchise tag.
