There has been bitterness between Welker and the Patriots for a few years. He wanted a big contract extension in the past and they strung him along then hit him with the franchise tag. It is how they work there. If you are not named Brady, they won't pay you the big dollars. You can't argue with the success they have had, but I know some guys end up leaving there a little bitter and looking for more money.
This is the perfect situation for Welker. He gets paid and he is on a team that is a legit Super Bowl contender.
