It has nothing to do with the system or force-feeding the guy 13 targets/gm or anything. Routes. It's all routes. Wes Welker has figured out a way to create the most confusing crossing route in the history of crossing routes.

Sure. The Welker contract gives them flexibility. I thought it would be more.

They'll have cap room along with bigger problems in a couple of years if Manning retires. It will be interesting. Von will get big, big money.

Dumervil decision likely to wait til Friday Another day with no progress in contract talks between the Broncos and defensive end Elvis Dumervil. The two sides do not appear close on how to re-do the $12 million salary Dumervil is scheduled to make in 2013. That salary would become guaranteed if he’s on the team’s roster Saturday. The Broncos are hoping Dumervil will accept a pay cut. Dumervil’s agent, Marty Magid, sent in a proposal where his client would take less money in 2013, but that reduction would then be added on to the final two years of the existing contract. Dumervil is on the books for a non-guaranteed $10 million in 2014 and $8 million in 2015. If the two sides don’t agree on a new deal by Friday, the Broncos may release Dumervil and sign veteran pass-rushing end Dwight Freeney. http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/...-friday/18880/ |

Wes Welker has always reminded me of a white Wes Welker.

Why? If Amendola stays healthy this isn't really a problem. They went younger and Amendola has comparable skills. All else being equal, that's fine. I will say that Welker's stock has been hurt by some key drops the last two years. Before that, I hardly remember any drops, but the last two years, OUCH. We love him. He's been a fan favorite, but we've seen this play before. Older players get churned over RELENTLESSLY under Belichick. Richard Seymour was only the most glaring example. Bottom line, if Amendola and the TEs stay healthy and we get a solid Z, then our offense should be perfectly fine.

You guys just lost the most dangerous receiver in football and a guy that is clearly one of the greatest WRs of all time... Jesus...the more I read it, the dumber it looks. Exoter - you're an idiot.

Wes has been very, very durable, but at some point he's going to start breaking down pretty fast, I think. He's taken an absolutely hellacious beating the last five years. With the sheer volume of catches he's made, it's almost RB-esque. That might be part of why the Pats want to move on. Not saying he WILL break down in the next two years, mind you. If there's one thing I've learned, it's NOT to underestimate Welker. Guy is a stud.

And he wasn't even that old. Bottom line, Pats will not over pay for old players unless they are HOF talents (Randy Moss says "**** yeah bitches") but even Randy didn't get overpaid. |

. He is an idito, but if Welker doesn't have 8+ catches, at least three of which are converting first down, against you guys in his first game against the Chiefs, I'll eat my hat. But yeah, he's not what Exoter seems to think.

Seymour was 29 when we traded him away. It was him or Wilfork, and Pats decided to keep Wilfork. Brutal to lose him, but the right call. According to reports he wasn't the best locker room guy for the Pats either, so between that and the mega-contract he wanted and his age, his time was up in NE.
