Wes Welker to the Denver Broncos [UPDATE: 2-Year, $12 Million Deal]

All, NFL, Video Jason McIntyre March 13th. 2013, 4:53pm

Wes Welker has agreed to terms with the Denver Broncos according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Guess there was no bluff.

Peyton Manning is happy. Tom Brady is sad.

So the Broncos now have Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker plus Eric Decker? Is there a better receiving trio in the NFL?

Discuss.

[UPDATE: Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports it is a 2-year deal.]

Laurent Robinson cut by the Jaguars. That worked out well.

Give Welker credit. He knows how to gravy-train HOF QBs. Coulda ended up in Jacksonville getting killed by errant and ill-timed Blame Gabbert and Henne throws.

This cries out for the “Tom Brady is a sad panda” picture.

Denver does play at New England in the regular season, at least.

Is anyone really shocked? When you’re surrounded by underachieving receivers in Dallas you’re going to get the ball thrown at you a lot. He had one year wonder written all over him.

I believe he had more concussions last season than the Jags had wins.

Tom Brady has two tight ends and what WRs?
Broncos offense will be sick again.
really gotta wonder how pissed Brady is. Unless he loves Edelman.

The Patriots own the farm on quick gritty white receivers, they’ll do fine without Welker.

Thanks for taking less money Tom, we are still too cheap to sign your best WR and good friend. Bob Kraft has instead decided to throw a killer 24th birthday for his lady friend.

He’ll be 28 this year, and seems to be injury prone. Don’t get where all this Amendola love has come from.

eh, not like they were that far off, then.
in reality, if gronk and hernandez stay healthy welker won’t see 100+ catches in that offense again.

So the last week has seen the deaths of Alvin Lee, Peter Banks and Clive Burr.
Not a good week to be an aging rock ‘n’ roller.

Good thing he’s going to a great system.
Looks like the Pats are moving towards the first 4-TE offense.

Injury history is a concern, I should add a “when healthy” qualifier.

That wouldn’t even happen in a video game.
