Good read breaking down what’s happening now and what will be happening over the next five days. Here’s his take on Welker, and I agree that they probably should move on but it’s doubtful they will…

I’m on the record saying the Patriots should move on from Welker for the good of the offense. While no one has more respect for or values Welker more than I do, I think to become the toughest team to defend for a defense, the Patriots need to get more dynamic on the outside, let the tight ends handle the middle of the field, and take Welker away from Brady. Get a viable downfield threat — Wallace and Jennings aren’t coming here, but the draft is full of them, the Patriots could make a trade, and more receivers could join the low-price market of Jerome Simpson, Mohamed Massaquoi, Brandon Gibson, and David Nelson — and get constant and athletic yards-after-catch from the other side in a combination of Edelman and Danny Amendola, Josh Cribbs, or a draft pick, and the Patriots would be tougher to defend in all parts of the field in the postseason, which has been a problem for them.
