Welker is critical to the team's sucess this season. And to lose him to NE ?! WTF are they thinking ?
we all hate to see Welker go, but at some point all the man-love has to stop. we're getting a second-rounder for Wes. do you honestly think we could have gotten a second for him if he were under contract and we traded him straight up? sure not. the contract sheet turns out to be a blessing in disguise IMO.
i hate to see him go, just like everyone on here, but he's a good WR and an average special teamer. he's not worth that type of contract and he's NOT the core of this team either. for our offense, that would be Ronnie Brown, Vernon Carey and Rex Hadnot. these are the young guys we have to build around. maybe Culpepper if he's healthy, we don't know that.
ironically, you're right that we're probably going to be a "freaking stop along the way in an NFL career" this season. i think we'll bring in a few lower-priced free agents to hold down the fort until we get our own guys.

I know man. I just can't deny how disappointed I am. It seems like Dolphins fans are just too into the "one guy take us all the way" mentality. They look at individual players too much. Super Bowl teams are usually teams made up of mostly average players that have a couple stars. It takes an entire team doing their individual parts to win.
Welker is a guy that you just want on your team. You don't compare him to T.O. or Randy Moss. Welker is simply a critical part of a winning team. And now the Patriots, a team that has won MANY Super Bowls, is getting a key player to any team.
Remember Brady to Troy Brown? Well, this year, and in the coming 7 years, we can look forward to BRADY TO WELKER. ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but who cares if he's the "heart of this team?" This team SUCKED the last few seasons, particularly on offense. Yes, Welker is a gutsy, hard-working player, but his presence or absence won't affect our chances at making the playoffs again one bit.
Let's remember this when BRADY TO WELKER becomes a curse to every Dolphin fan.
"It's 3rd and 5 at the 50 yard line. NE down by one. They need the first down to get in field goal range. Brady drops back... COMPLETE TO WES WELKER FOR THE FIRST DOWN!!!" :fire:
so be it. i'll stand by what i said. a second for Welker is like a related christmas present.

Wes will bring us a big #2 pick. We will be fine. And Tom Brady's *** will still get kicked in! Laron Landry, here we come!

Let him go. I'll take the 2nd round draft pick in a heart beat. If noone hasn't realized yet, Miami is a TRUE REBUILDING MODE. Deal with it!!!
That could happen but its over with no reason getting upset over it. I loved welker but randy and cam is trying to give this whole team a makeover and that means out with the old in with the new so to say. This coming year we may not be much but the year after with this youth infusion I see up building a long standing team and no more quick fixes.

Exactly. Everyone loved him because he was an over-achiever amidst a bunch of under-achievers. McMike and CC made him look better than he really was. I appreciate his effort, but he's not worth a second round pick by any stretch of the imagination. He's not a great return guy. He's not a #1 WR, or even a #2. Let NE start patching their roster with 2nd and 3rd tier guys now. I'm sick of it.

Now I'm going to feel the same way about Welker that I used to feel about Wayne Chrebet. This sucks.
Well, the second round draft pick is nice in theory. What if that guy is a bust? You never know how draft picks will work out. I know things will move on in Miami without Welker, but that guy was one of the brightest spots on Miami during this run of bad years (2003 - 2006). He will be missed for sure!
Just out of curiosity, can Welker turn the deal down? Maybe he is talking with Cameron about getting a solid deal. He could turn down the offer, and then take something a little lower in Miami. I know that is dreaming, but can it be done legally?

I see it as it being 3rd and 5 at the 50 yard line. NE down by one. They need the first down to get into field goal range. Brady drops back.....Sacked by the 2nd round stud of a DE or ILB...or maybe INT by the first rnd CB or just maybe Welker catches the ball and then BAM!!!!! Fumble as he is smothered by Jason Allen.
