Patriots | Future of Wes Welker a top priority

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:08:45 -0800

A decision on the future of New England Patriots impending free-agent WR Wes Welker will be the biggest offseason issue facing the team. Owner Robert Kraft has publicly stated he wants Welker to remain a Patriot. When it comes to negotiations, the Patriots have the upper hand on Welker because they can use the franchise tag on him. The assumption is they would apply the tag, which would lock Welker up for next year at $9.4 million. However, the team could potentially hold back on the tag and see what Welker commands on the open market. New England may be willing to gamble he'd get less on a long-term deal. Then, they'd use that to work out something at a much friendlier cost than the tag rate.

Patriots | Teammates support Wes Welker

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:21:42 -0800

New England Patriots WR Wes Welker said his fourth-quarter drop in Super Bowl XLVI cost his team the game; however, QB Tom Brady came to Welker's defense, saying there wasn't one single moment that cost New England the game. "Wes is a phenomenal player and a teammate," said Brady. "I love that guy." OG Brian Waters added, "Wes is a competitor. He's a pro. One play doesn't tell the story in this game. There were a lot of things out there that didn't go the way we wanted."

Patriots | Wes Welker feels he let team down

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:56:43 -0800

New England Patriots WR Wes Welker said he let the team down dropping a key third-down pass in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVI. "It's a play I never drop. I always make it. And in the most critical situation, I let the team down," Welker said following the game.

Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions during the regular season and caught the first seven passes thrown to him during the Super Bowl. The eighth pass was the critical drop, as it went off his hands with less than four minutes to play. The drop led to the Patriots punting to the New York Giants, who would march down the field for the go-ahead touchdown.

In Welker's defense, it was a tough play, as he had to twist midair to adjust to the pass. "The ball is right there. It's one I'll have to live with," Welker said.

"We just couldn't connect. I'll keep throwing the ball to him for as long as I possibly can," Brady said of Welker.
