    I'm basing it off of nothing, but I think it would be a good fit. Peyton would be a great QB for Welk, and Den is weak at the position. Plus it would be a big FU to NE if they don't resign him.

    I doubt he goes to Miami because he more than likely wants another ring, and that isn't happening there.

    Welker doesn't have a ring

    Their payroll for WRs is really low, not sure what their overall cap space is like, but that is a good fit and I would hate to see it happen.

    I'm guessing they work it out. It' be hard to leave Tom Brady as that has been an insane combo over the years. A few more great seasons and Welker could find himself in the HOF. Though him going elsewhere and having success probably will make him more $ as well as help his legacy to get rid of the whole its all Tom Brady/system talk etc...

    I don't think he is as replaceable as what most people think. Welker is headed to his 5th 100+ catch season which will be an NFL record. I don't believe anybody else under Brady has gotten to 100 receptions.



    If they can't work out I can see Denver, Dallas perhaps Indy getting involved. (Rumored to be interested back in the summer time)

    You're really going to defend Martin's play? He's been really solid as a returner,especially lately, but it's pretty hard to be impressed with his offensive play so far this year...

    Through 12 games:
    9 REC 24 TRGT 89 YD 1 TD 1 FUM

    Those are sub-Jacoby numbers.

    Yeah, because of the KR/PR work. He's the 4th/5th option in the pass game.

    Welker could be asking for too much . Plus, Thomas, Miller, Decker ,etc will need new contracts.

    Nope.

    Thomas and Decker are under contract for 2 and 1 more years, respectively.

    Their journeyman fodder, Stokely and Willis, are set to go, but that's not a big loss.

    Broncos have $12.1 million in cap space. I would not be shocked if they find a way to make it happen. Peyton could use a guy like that.

    Well, Welker was seeking a 2 year deal worth over $20mil last offseason. If he hasn't softened his stance, he will not be in Denver.

    A QB like Flacco, probably doesn't throw to him. Not enough go routes.

    Would Peyton want to spurn a guy he loves like Stokely for Welker? Welker would not be a huge statistical bump in their offensive production, for that system. He'd be a Decker with more separation. It will be interesting in the offseason to see how much a run-heavy guy like Fox and Elway allow Peyton to shape the offense.
