WELKER’S ‘LEAP’ LED INTO THIS ABYSS | Boston Herald

I don’t often link to Borges but he can write…

While there is no replacement for Welker on the roster, that won’t matter. Neither will the Patriots’ abysmal record of drafting wideouts. The Patriots are simply not going to put an $11.4 million franchise tag on Welker, someone with intimate knowledge of the team’s thinking said. Nor is he going to get an offer better than the one he turned down in 2011. So all his #leapoffaith got Welker was a decent one-year deal, but he’s got no grounds to complain because the Patriots long ago showed how they do business if you do yours the way he did his, which was to hold out a tin cup and hope they’d drop something in it.

While I wrote last week that the Patriots should let Brandon Lloyd, among others, walk this offseason, it wasn’t because of production. For his salary, his play was fine. My point was that if the Patriots determine they need better at that X receiver position and spend a lot of money to do it, it doesn’t make much sense to keep Lloyd. But if the Patriots don’t see many other options, keeping Lloyd (especially with a tweak in his deal) certainly makes sense, especially if Wes Welker leaves. Lloyd knows the offense. How many Patriots receivers can say that?

Charles Woodson could be an interesting fit for Patriots – Sports – The Boston Globe

Patriots will sign Austin Collie, right?

It’s certainly possible, he fits the kind of veteran coming-off-an-injury that the Pats are usually willing to take a flyer on. He certainly has injury issues, as does Danny Amendola (if the Pats are in the market for replacing Wes Welker). Edelman is probably the best choice of all three of them.

Still, I’d be fine to kick the tires on him. As long as he promises not to wear a tinted face shield.
