NFL friend: Wes Welker wants a new contract
One friend on another NFL team suggests Wes Welker is hustling back from ACL surgery because he wants a new contract from the Patriots.
"I think he’s crazy," said the other player. "He wants a new deal, and the Patriots have Julian Edelman lined up as his replacement. If I were Wes, I wouldn’t even consider coming back until October." Welker refused to be drawn in, responding, "I’ve got two years left on my deal. I’m just here to play ball. I just worry about doing my job and let everything else take care of itself."
