Rich Eisan on NFL network touched on this when the Welker news broke and if the mediots caught on it seems pretty obvious. Based on numbers and stats Welker has been a top 5 receiver for the past 5 years, and has shown no signs of slowing down. I have every faith that for a bare minimum of the next two he will continue to be a 100+ catch 1200 yard 5 TD receiver. An AMAZING bargain at 6 million when guys like Wallace (who I expect to have 70 catches 900 yards 8 TD) get 12 million. I do not buy the whole stretch the field changing the way the defenses play is worth more because all your hear coaches say is what a pain in the ass defending Welker is. Converting third down after third down leads to touchdowns.
So not Welker specific because we see it with all of the "slot" receivers, why do they get so much less when their numbers are just as good if not better? It baffles me that tall guys who can run fast are worth SO much more then brilliant route runners that can catch. Any theories?
