Here’s your “Pats screwed Welker!” take from Mike Freeman. I’m going to great lengths today not to sound like I have anything but love for Welker, but I don’t think the Patriots will cease their dominance of the AFC without him, ultimately it’s Belichick and then Brady that count the most.
Where are all those who decry the “dink and dunk” Patriots offense that Welker is the prime target of? And what about those who worship at the altar of the “deep threat”? And yes, the Pats have sucked at drafting wide receivers, but that doesn’t mean that a) they will continue to miss on every one and b) they can’t just go out and get guys in free agency like they did with Welker and Moss and everyone else not named Deion Branch or David Givens.
Welker’s signing of the tag this year, instead of potentially holding out, was an olive branch. The Patriots took that branch, applied a saw, and then ate it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. With the Patriots declining to do a long-term deal, this is likely Welker’s last year in New England. It’s possible the Patriots could use the tag again next year but they probably won’t. In all likelihood, Welker is gone, and I think the Patriots will regret it.
Welker’s also subject to significant questions about his value in a context outside of the Patriots system. As a nontraditional sort of player, he really only fits into a handful of offensive schemes, and the vast majority of his success has come with an elite quarterback at the helm. It’s hard to imagine Welker, say, going to Cleveland and lining up as a split end for Brandon Weeden. Players of Welker’s ilk are also relatively plentiful and cheap. Welker was undrafted, as was Danny Amendola, Welker’s replacement at Texas Tech.2 Amendola doesn’t have Welker’s ability, but he had 85 catches with Sam Bradford at the helm in 2010 while playing a Welker-esque role. When the Patriots are debating whether to give Welker a long-term deal, they have to consider the possibility that they could get 90 percent of Welker’s performance from a player like Amendola at about 10 percent of the cost. It just doesn’t make sense to give Welker a long-term deal under those circumstances.
