Anyone else think the Pats are doing Wes dirty?

Here's a guy who was top 5 in receiving yards, and one of the best slot recievers in the game, getting shunned by Belichick because he didn't accept the contract they offered him and he held out for a week. He has hardly been targeted and he didn't even start last game vs Cards.

It's strange that they wouldn't want to feature him. Perhaps they're planning to trade him if the other receivers can step up.

[Tarheels23]

They did Moss the same way, and Brady didn't step up for neither one.

[KillerKat]

It would be really stupid to do that. It cost them a game if they did.

[Darth Biscuit]

Welker talked to the media... Brady does what Billy boy tells him to do... Pretty simple.

[g5jamz]

Can't wait until Brady is replaced with Mallett and the tables are turned.

[Johnny Rockets]

No one is above the "Patriot Way".

[usmcpanthers]

yes they are doing him very dirty, any team would kill for Welker...he has won me many fantasy games last two years.

[tarheelpride]

Either way, they have done my fantasy team dirty

[Panthers128]

Players are supposed to do what the coaches tell them to. Tom Brady is a great quarterback who has had much success with the Patriots. Any reasonable person should know that there isn't much reason to question that organization.

Welker wants a big contract and the Patriots don't see it as a good investment. They probably tagged him to avoid losing him to a division rival. Also this benefits Welker in some ways. He doesn't have to worry as much about wear and tear for this year. If he's traded midseason, assuming no cheap shots or freak accidents, he should be ready to go for his next team.
