Not to get ahead of ourselves, but Wes Welker is in the final year of his contract. As always with BB and the Pats, you never know what the grand plan is.

It’s shaping up to be a very interesting story of next off-season. Not that I’m thinking about anything other than the Jets right now. 

I’d say it has somewhat to do with how much they like Edelman and Price.

The Pats already made the mistake once of dicking around with Tom Brady’s favorite target, only to have things get ugly and see him end up on another team. Thank Hoodie we got Deion Branch back for the golden years, but we missed out on some quality time with him for sure (see 2006 AFCCG and Caldwell, Reche).

I’d hope that they wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

Welker may only have a few more seasons before he loses that explosive quickness that he has. But he’s smart enough to get by without it for at least another four.

He’s playing like the best receiver in football. An on-pace-to-be-historic season. He won’t be cheap.

And it definitely seems like he wouldn’t mind seeing what kind of deals are out there. 

So I say sign him and sign him quick, before someone’s ready to way overpay him, if they’re not already.
