Why Wes Welker is Expendable

You saw the headline on this column and started throwing up in your mouth a little bit didn’t you? Yeah, writing that headline makes me a little nauseous, too.

Wes Welker tags out: Signs franchise tender

Wes Welker realized resistance is futile in the New England Patriots system. Welker tried to stay away as long as possible, he tried and failed. It’s hard to call Welker a loser since he’ll at least collect a 9.5 million payday in 2012. However, Welker knew the longer the acrimony, the further he would get to a multi year deal. Welker signed the one year franchise tender...
