1) 600K a year for 3 or 4 years. He has no ego, it shouldn't be an issue.
2)Yes
3)I don't know
4) He's an Unrestricted Free Agent, there is no comp needed.
5) No.
6) Stallworth or Kevin Curtis.

I would really like to see him re-sign. I think about 3/4 million a year will do it. He is our most consisent reciever and needs to be on the field more than he is. I think he's a great punt returner but I feel he does not have that explosive burst for a KR.

Do you mean 3/4 of a million or 3-4 million?

The Red Zone has Welker listed as RFA. Is that an error on their part?
Are you absolutely sure he is an UFA?

Consistancy isn't necessarily a good thing. If he consistantly caught one ball a game, would that be a good thing. I love Wes, but he is our 3rd or 4th best receiver. He only caught 1 TD and never had a really huge game. I'd love to keep him, it's just nonsense for us to consider him our best WR.

Chambers led the team in receptions 2 years ago, but everyone wants to get rid of him. (And he made the pro bowl.)

Also, I don't care what color his skin is. What does that have to do with anything?

 

[junkyardkid]

Too bad the other receivers don't have the heart that Welker has, and why can't the Fins use Vick for a return man? I heard he was real fast.

 

[Aussiefinfan54]

we must absolutely re-sign wes that should be very high up on the list of things that we must do this offseason. wes was incredible for us in the recieving department last year and will hopefully have more balls thrown his way next season for the phins.

everyone wants to get rid of him because for the money he is getting he stinks and simply does not earn his pay check. people are loving wes because he is cheap and wears his heart on his sleave every match despite his lesser athletic ability and far lesser pay check than chambers and but still manages to put in better/equal performances compared to that of chambers.

I get sick of hearing that Chris doesn't earn his paycheck. I would understand making him restructure or take a pay cut for 2007, but why would you ask a pro bowler to take a pay cut? My god, where do we draw the line.

And as for Welker playing so much better than Chambers, he had 8 more catches for 10 more yards with 3 fewer touchdowns. Explain to me there how he outperformed Chris in what will be Chambers worst year of his career and what was probably Wes' career year.
