Wes Welker

If he was doing the right thing to preserve time, why didn't he try to make his way to the sidelines rather than running towards three defenders and giving himself up? The clock doesn't stop when you surrender yourself in the middle of the field.

It doesn't stop, it just saves you time. Why waste 3 second trying to run through 3 guys?

He caught the ball in the middle of the field and ran straight ahead. Sideline would have taken longer.

But look, I wouldn't want to see Edelman try to go through 3 guys either. I like when he goes down to avoid beig hit....that's also the right thing to do.

So I gather the consensus is... sign the beast?

Nope, put the beast out to pasture...

I think that's more so because of his gigantic helmet.

I noticed the same thing. Hes got foam peanuts, egg crate and bubble wrap in there. Sad, actually.

Reminded me of this.

Nope, put the beast out to pasture...

TBH, I wouldn't mind returning the favor and seeing if we can't poach a Thomas off Denver...

 

[Jackson 2]

Nope, put the beast out to pasture...

In the case of a bronco, to the glue factory...

The Broncos will give him a nice severance pay in special Welker commemorative stamps...

Welker thinking of calling it a career ...

The 33-year-old wide receiver, who is slated to become a free agent next month, is considering retirement after several years of head injuries and declining production, sources have told FOX Sports.

One of the sources said no final decision has been made, though Welker has told concerned friends, family members and associates he's at least giving serious thought to walking away.
