Don’t sign the form Wes!

by user Blocking Back

The New England Patriots are set to offer Phin fan’s favorite Wes Welker a seven year $38.5 million contract.

Welker was one of the only shining lights in a dark, dark season for the Dolphins. Along with Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor, he makes up the very heart of the team and the fans love him. Please don’t sign the form Wes, we need you.

Ok, so that’s a little on the corny side but what are you supposed to do when your team is flogging its best players left, right and centre? If Welker becomes a Patriot I will be devastated.

If he decides to sign the offer sheet, Miami will then have seven days to match the offer or they will lose him in return the Pats second round draft pick. A second round draft pick is no compensation for breaking the heart of the team. Match Beat the offer Wayne!

I really only saw Welker play against the Steelers at the beginning of the season. He looked like a pretty good player. The Dolphins need all the offense they can get.

Also, the Patriots probably used a poison pill because there's talk that the NFLPA will accuse teams of collusion (i.e. agreeing not to screw each other for the benefit of each other, which is illegal). So the Dolphins will not match the offer sheet unless they want to guarantee Welker's contract.

Just to clarify -- you think that there's going to be widespread use of poison pill clauses because to not use one is going to be used as evidence of collusion?

Yes. I know, it sounds ridiculous (and I think it is), but because the poison pill was never worked out of the CBA, it would be a very valid claim by the NFLPA.

I'm not happy. Wes Welker has been on my fantasy team since he went to Miami. My league rewards total yards, including kick and punt return yards. Since Welker touched the ball over 150 times this season, he was the highest scoring receiver in our league! Being a Dolphin fan since '75 was the icing on the cake. Now that Welker goes to New England (New England!!!!) he may not get as many touches.
