As you know, Wes Welker is a Denver Bronco. By all accounts his departure from the Patriots, with whom he’s enjoyed massive success since he joined the team in 2007, came down to feeling like the organization didn’t show him enough respect. Some Pats fans, though, didn’t seem to care what the cause of departure was – they were just angry.

Wes Welker knows how to pick his Hall of Fame quarterbacks: the former New England Patriot cornerstone inked a 2-year deal with the Denver Broncos for $12 million yesterday.

During the Texans’ Monday night blowout loss to the New England Patriots, punter Donnie Jones injured his leg while trying to tackle Wes Welker. That a punter was injured while trying to do an athletic thing isn’t anything new. Jones, conciliatory reaction, however, well that’s a new one.

Wes Welker caught a six-yard out route from Tom Brady during yesterday’s Seahawks-Patriots game, and Seattle corner Brandon Browner took the opportunity to lay out Welker with impunity. Legally, might we add, as he leads with his shoulder and avoids helmet-to-helmet contact.

Not like it’ll do anything to bolster the city of Buffalo’s image of him, but apparently it wasn’t the Bills Tom Brady was hurling swears at from the sideline on Sunday.
