What do you want to see done with Wes Welker?

by

WANT? I’d want the Patriots to re-sign him to a three-year team-friendly deal that protects the team as he starts to lose that explosive quickness and the big hits start to catch up with him. There’s no question Welker is a legendary Patriot and I’d love to see him end his career in New England.

But what do I THINK will happen?

THIS. Unfortunately.

Charles Woodson is going to be available, what do you think? I think although he’s lost a step or two his experience and smarts would help the secondary in a big way. BB could plug him in anywhere and get good play out of him. I think I am the only pats fan in wisconsin, so I’ve seen a lot of packers games lately, haha

I don’t really see it with Woodson because I think McCourty is more of the free safety-type that would play his role. Greg Bedard had some commentary about this today on twitter and I agree with him. They really need more of strong safety-type and Tavon Wilson should be given every chance to compete for that starting job. Someone like Dashon Goldson is the best free agent fit in terms of type.

But really I don’t see safety as a prime need that needs to be filled with a prime free agent. Ed Reed would be an interesting option given BB’s love affair with him and his penchant for always kicking the tires on special veterans who may or may not be past their prime.
