The Patriots are expected to "court" restricted free agent Wes Welker.
Welker, who caught 67 passes in 2006, could take a load off Laurence Maroney in the return game and provide New England with a nice speed-possession target in the slot. He'll cost a second-round pick if signed.

Fans can't follow more than one sport at a time? Give me a break. Welker would fit will in New England, but not for a 2nd rounder.

PATS TO PULL OUT POISON PILL?
With a big-name unrestricted free agent already in the fold, the New England Patriots are now making a play for a promising restricted free agent.
Per ESPN.com and the Boston Globe, the Pats plan to sign receiver/kick returner Wes Welker to an offer sheet.
If the offer sheet isn't matched by the Dolphins within seven days, Welker become the property of the Pats, in exchange for a second-round draft pick.
And a second-round draft pick isn't much to give up for a proven performer, especially when it comes in the low end of the round. In 2006, the Pats spent a second-rounder on receiver Chad Jackson, who to date has been a disappointment.
The bigger question, as we see it, is whether New England will include in the offer sheet a poison pill provision that makes it impossible for the Fins to match. If, for example, the offer sheet says that the full value of the deal will be guaranteed if Welker's team plays five games in Miami in any year of the deal, the Pats can as a practical matter get Welker for less total exposure -- especially if the deal also includes some phony high salaries on the back end.
If the Pats don't use the poison pill, and if the Fins match the deal, look for the NFLPA to cry foul. Why? Because there was a specific effort by the league and the union to negotiate the poison pill out of the CBA after last year's tit-for-tat involving the Vikings and the Seahawks. But an impasse was reached, and the device is still on the books.
So if the teams choose not to use it, the union will be able to claim collusion or other unfair labor practices.
Stay tuned.​

This is just a plain ******** approach to this.

Rumor has it that signing a Tceh grad automatically drops the team IQ by 6 points

True story

He is not in college anymore and some people with their hate of opposing Texas schools makes people look silly.

Man alive it must suck to hate other Texas schools more than you love your own.

Someone missed out on the college experiance. This is why the NFL gets worse every year, too many players and fans have no concept of loyalty and rivalries.

And the only reason they may in fact get in is because they manage to show up twice a year for their superbowl against A&M

Was I talking to you? I don't believe I prefaced the comment with an indication that I was speaking to an insignifigant blip on the radar.

And once again...he is not in college anymore, so as z said...someone grew up.

Pssssst....here's a hint, I'm just messing around. I don't really care about Welker one way or the other, namely because he is a very average football player who won't help anyone immensely

You must be the life of every party

yeah, like Tech didn't manage to beat Kansas this year either, huh?

Oh, wait a minute!

So had Tceh's only quality win been against Kansas, you think they would even remotely be on the NCAA bubble?
