This is the perfect situation for Welker. He gets paid and he is on a team that is a legit Super Bowl contender.

But that is the dark side of the business of football. All teams do it to some degree, Bill Walsh was a notorious for a what have you done for me lately rooster.. and yet they won. Gotta wonder if this isn't some back lash over the 'dropped' (not over thrown) ball from the previous SB? As a Raider fan are you happy with RM moves thus far? I think you may see Greg Jennings signed and him trading down with SF for more picks. a first and two seconds and more picks next year.
