Just read on profootballtalk.com that Welker is considering retirement. I wonder if he wouldn't be interested in a short deal to come back to the Dolphins.
Pros
1. Still has short area quickness and run after catch ability
2. Veteran presence that can help our receivers and young quarterback
3. With recent injury history, his price tag should be reasonable on a 1 or 2 year deal
4. Has incentive to stick it to the Pats twice a year
Cons
1. Essentially plays same position as Landry. Can Landry move outside and still be effective? How many touches would Welker expect and could we satisfy that expectation while we already have Wallace demanding touches?
2. Welker's recent injury history might bite us like our most recent veteran signings (Finnegan, Delmas, Keller)
