Oh people, come on. The Dolphins pull off one of the most pathetic facing saving trades in NFL history and some fans here want to beef about giving up a 7th?
Wow, instead of just caving into reality and taking the second rounder forced by the Pats signing Welker to a contract the Fins wouldn't match, - and the Pats didn't really want to execute - the Fin's FO bullies the Pats into including a nearly meaningless 7th round pick. Ouch.
This is a win by by the Pat's FO. Why?
Instead of risking having to pay Welker a contract designed more to force the Fins to let him go than what the Pats would pay hm as a UFA, the Pats have duped the Fins into handing him over without making the Pats overpay Welker to simply to secure his services. How could anyone dispute that swapping a seventh rounder in exchange for negotiating freely with a RFA isn't a coup by the Pats?
The Pats deplete the Fins roster of one of their most dependable players AND do so by convincing the Fins to allow Welker go to their mortal enemy AND work out a deal not constrained by the RFA rules which would have forced the Pats to offer money they were certain was beyond the window Miami had in mind.
Unless you think you know more than BB and are certain Welker wasn't worth a 2nd then you should be applauding the Pats for grabbing a player they really wanted under terms far more favorable than they would have been without this deal.
