i love welker. maybe since we haven't won the big one with him the powers that be decided to go in a different direction. maybe they didn't want him to grow old on thier dime. maybe like most that leave he won't perform as well elsewhere. maybe there was bad blood between the two sides. maybe all of the above. you can be sure that tb was kept real time aware of developments. that said i'm going to miss that tough sob.

Welker did not lead the league in drops. That was Jimmy Graham. Calvin Johnson had more drops than Welker.
The move makes no sense now that they've brought in Amendola. Welker would have continued catching ~100 per year for the next few years while the window is still there. His stats showed no significant downward trend. Why get rid of a proven commodity who has great chemistry with your QB for an unproven, more expensive, injury prone option?

percentage-wise, Welker is behind 5 other receivers
only Calvin Johnson caught more balls than he did but Johnson also had 32 more balls thrown his way
he may have dropped more balls that someone considered catchable, but he had more thrown to him
it should be about production not dropped balls
yes we need a big sideline guy who can go up and get the ball
maybe Josh M. is wrecking the team

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
