Welker Contacted Denver

Instead of the Denver Broncos making first contact with Welker, which for the most part is how free agency works, Welker decided to give the Broncos a call to tell them he was interested in playing for them. Welker was intrigued by the idea of playing with Peyton Manning while also teaming up with Thomas and Decker. 

Welker wanted to win a Super Bowl and realized that the Patriots were going to replace him. The fact that he contacted Denver gives me hope that he will be going all out learning the new system and getting in touch with Peyton over the summer to run routes. 

This could be a very scary team to have to game plan against. They will have to face a deep threat in Thomas and two short and intermediate threats in Welker and Decker. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this could rival the Patriots 2007 offense, but Welker is older. However, Thomas is younger than Moss was, but not quite as talented. One thing this offense also has is a third receiving threat in Decker, something the Patriots offense did not have.
