This might not have been the case though. He might have thought he could get more than what the Pats offered him (say it WAS 2 years 12 mil). Pats told him to walk, made other plans, then by the time Welker knew it that's the most he actually could get on the open market.

I hear you, but (and I'm not authority, just my opinion) I would think if that was the case, he wouldn't have signed so soon after the FA period opened. I'd have to believe he could have made a bit more elsewhere. All reports say the Patriots offered Welker 5 mil per. for 2 years.

Welker got 6 from Denver.

Just interesting they'd offer an injury risk more money with more years versus someone they know if good for 100+ a year for the next two. I'd say they know more than I do, so who am I to question, but I think pride got in the way with this move.

green bay maybe

GB, Jets, yeah. All possibilities. I should restate he may be a #1 somewhere this upcoming year, but probably not as many touches as he's had in the past.

This will be his last "big" contract though. He goes to whoever offers the most.

Okay, I am lost. Toronto would still be interested in Clowe if we moved the trade deadline to April. I thought we did move the trade deadline to April? Someone message me if I have the date wrong because google told me April 3.

Also Ryan Miller will remain a Bruin? Did I miss a trade? My computer is too slow to check TSN but I thought he played in Buffalo still. Unless there are two Ryan Millers. Then the kings want him in the summer? Are they losing Quick? No offense to Miller and I know Quick is having a bad year but Quick is still a top 5 and I think Miller dropped out of that rank last year. Why have a top 10 goalie as a backup when you already have Bernier who has a 1.1 something GAA?

I am lost.

Well poop Eklund you really scared me there.

Glad to see Ryan Miller will stay a Bruin this year. Imagine if he was traded to Buffalo, that would be crazy..

Jackson is gonna be a beast in Atlanta...He can run and catch and will fit like a glove in that powerhouse offense...He was rotting on a sh*tty Rams team...

Yup, he may not run as much, but he's a two way threat.

Who knows but it's highly unlikely since nobody can catch him.
