There’s been a lot of talk about whether the Pats are trying to phase Wes Welker out of the offense. If you’ve watched the Patriots the past two weeks, you might feel the same way. Some analysts say its basically the personnel package that has Welker seeing more time on the pine. But Mike Freeman reports that the Pats may be working on a trade for Welker. He reports:
What might be happening here — and the Globe alluded to it — is that the Patriots aren’t phasing Welker out. They are preparing to trade him.
Several league sources said this is more than some remote possibility. This might actually be a probability and the team is seeing if Edelman could fit into Welker’s shoes should the team trade him.
This is more the Patriots Way than a phasing out. A sort of stashing of Welker — and by trading Welker, they would have total control of his destination city. The Patriots traded Randy Moss, and trading Welker before the Oct. 30 deadline would be very Bill Belichick.
Well this could get interesting. Could the Pats be done with Welker’s services? And if they are, what team would trade for him? Well the Dolphins could use a WR but there was a reason they got rid of him in the first place. Stay tuned.
