Wouldn't Welker be sweet

I know I know this ain't Madden... But Dez plus Welker

It's the Pats system he thrives in it with Brady he wouldn't be as effective with the Cowboys.

We wouldn't be able to sign Dez long term if we signed Welker

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

The Pats are making a huge mistake by letting him test the open market. Either they will lose him or end up having to pay a kings ransom to keep him.

You are spot on. I wouldn't touch him for the $ he will want.

 

[ShiningStar]

nothing against the OP but sometimes you have to look at why a player succeeds, NOT just the fact a player succeeds. In this case if we can get Cole to be a cheap Welker, id be happy with that.

 

[Chuck 54]

No...there are a few positions I almost never want to pay veterans instead of rookies.

1. RB....never sign a veteran...makes no sense.
2. WR...never unless devastated by injuries with no options.
3. TE...never a front line guy, only a blocker.

4. LB...especially not in the 4-3...sign average guys or backups, but draft your starters...never pay big money for a veteran LB.


QB, OL, DL, FS, CB occasionally---yes

We have Beasley..........IMO, I think he can become a great 3rd down/end zone weapon.

I also think Harris is going to have a break-out season.


Save the money for where it's really needed.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

You will have to forgive me, just tired of being let down by guys like Ogletree or Miles... Though Harris has been great

If I had to pick a place for Welker outside of New England it may very well be Detroit.
Pairing him underneath with Calvin Johnson on the outside could be lethal.

 

[AbeBeta]

a guy has a great rapport with a great QB ... that's not a pair you let break up. Pats are going to keep him, they are just letting other teams set the market.

You don't think he'd have success running underneath Dez and JWitt?

 

[KJJ]

You don't think he'd have success running underneath Dez and JWitt?

He would have some success but not nearly the success he's had in NE. If you think he would put up the staggering numbers with the Cowboys he's putting up in NE you better think again. Welker is entering his 11th year and will be 32 when the 2013 season starts. With Dez and Jason Witten he's not going to come close to 100+ catches and 1300+ yards with the Cowboys.

Before he arrived in NE he put up 67 catches for 687 yards his final season in Miami those are the kind of numbers you'll probably see with the Cowboys and with the contract he's going to demand he's not going to be worth it.

 

[Bowdown27]

No thanks

 

[zrinkill]

Nope....

 

[BoysFan4ever]

The Texans could use a receiver. Perhaps they'd be interested.

 

[jrumann59]

He was undrafted and signed by SD, then signed by miami and played the 3 and ST. He is a system receiver, as are most WR in the NFL, there are very few WR that do well in one city and continue to do well in another. Anquan Boldin is Balt. #1 but he isn not putting up the numbers he was doing early in his career.

 

[Deep_South]

I think you only sign a guy like Welker if his addition will get you a Super Bowl or at least a deep playoff run. There might be a player that would help us in that direction, but I just don't think Welker is the guy. Maybe an All Pro left tackle and move Tyron back to right, but only if we already managed to acquire a center and two guards first.

lol I believe Tom Brady makes him very very dangerous, but to call him a system receiver is pretty laughable.. The guy caught 67 passes for close to 700 yards in his 2nd year in the league with the Dolphins. Silly thread though & should go in the NFL zone or something since this is the most unrealistic thing. Plus he is about to be 32, you have to think the speed & quickness will start to decline soon.

Greg Jennings will be free to explore other teams next week. I'd rather have him than Welker.
