According to a source close to the Welker camp, another AFC team offered Welker a larger contract, at about 8 million a year but he refused because they weren't a contender.
I have a feeling that was us. We have the cap space to appease him.

Nope it was the Tennessee Titans.
The other team that pursued Welker was the Tennessee Titans, a source familiar with the situation said.

Amendola is hardly a "poor mans" Wes Welker. He's just never had a great quarterback. Who was Wes Welker before Tom Brady? Amendola is a dynamic receiver that once again never had an elite quarterback. They essentially got a younger, taller Wes Welker for the same amount of money. It's a tremendous signing and the very reason Bellicheat and the spy gate princes stay at the top of their game. His injuries have also been random. Arm, Collarbone etc. Nothing that would effect his play long term. He's going to light it up in New England. You heard it here first.
Fair statement. Certainly Brady can make him look good the way he made Welker look good.

Amendola was productive in st. Louis. He will be even better with brady.

Source ESPN NFL Insider Rumors
UPDATE: The Cleveland Browns have been mentioned as a possibility for nearly ever available free agent due to having the most salary cap space at the onset of the new NFL business year. The Browns are interested in cornerbacks, and Sean Smith may be on the team's radar.
"Per NFC scout: Don't be surprised if CB S. Smith winds up with Browns," Darren Connolly IV of the Atlanta Free Press tweeted.
The Browns would like to add a cornerback opposite Joe Haden. They had interest in Greg Toler before he signed with Indianapolis. The team is also quietly surveying Aqib Talib's status. Smith could be the team's fallback plan and would fit the early definition of a team "monitoring" the cornerback's situation.
Eagles are out of the running for Sean Smith also reported on rotoworld and ESPN

I forgot the Patriots ran the WCO.
Well that's a dick head comment. How was Welker used? Short crossing routes. That isn't our offense.

Vertical offense doesn't mean every receiver runs a 9.

No but it does mean that you more than likely don't sign a 30+ year old guy who is only known for running short routes for 7.5 million a year. That much should be obvious.

When your GM is an understudy of Bill B. and has had nothing but questionable acquisitions on his résumé, anything that comes onto the FA market from the Patriots will be considered a viable acquisition. That much should be obvious as well.

That is what a slot receiver does no matter the age. short, intermediate routes. You get the safety biting on the z receiver underneath, you will get burned over the top. So that's his job.. the underneath short YAC stuff

Sean Smith signed with the Chiefs.
Are we going to make any more moves?

I hope so getting bored. I guess they had browns guys at Geno Smith workout today. I guess he looked good from what I am reading.

But I still think we need a Guard, WR, CB, P, and K. That's still a lot of holes to fill with a caliber starter. Any news on Dawson?

For CB I believe Captain Munnerlin (Panthers) is still out there. We may be stuck with Hodges (nothing else out there) unless we're planning on drafting a punter in the 5th round.
Banner said "no comment" on Dawson. That's baffling, as he's by far the best option out there as a kicker.
With Matt Cassell being cut, will the Browns have any interest in him?
Um at guard if we don't go CB in the first round, IMO no reason to not take Warmack (especially if we can trade down a few spots). That gives the Browns a studly OL and DL.

For some reason I hate it when we trade down. Just memory of trading down with wimbley when we could of gotten Ngata and trading down and missing out on Jones the receiver that Atlanta got. I really just hate it.

not wimbley winslow my fault...

Think he has much left in the tank?
I've always wondered what kind of numbers he would be able to put up if he was on a good team.... Guy is a freaking Clydesdale...
hopefully changing scenery and being on a REAL contender will put a little more juice in his gallop.
hell if michael turner could do it behind that line.....imagine jackson.
i think he'll go out there with something to prove to himself and to the fans. good luck to him. even though he's not a brown, he's one of those guys you gotta give mad respect to.

Actually, you had it right- we swapped spots with the Ravens- they took Ngata, we took Wimbley.
That was Doofus Davis who traded UP one spot to get his Miami Man-Crush Winslow. Might have been worth it if Knievel Winslow hadn't been doing stunts in a parking lot on his crotch rocket.

so geno smith killed it in his pro day yesterday.
so i'm watching boomer and carton (msg network, boomer eswiason and craig carton....better than mike and mike) and esiason says he won't make it out of the top ten and he might not make it out of the top five. then they mentioned the teams desperate for a qb and were talking about a bidding war between them to move up. which of course puts us in the thick of things at number six.
no, i didn't mention taking smith ourselves because we have a QB we drafted last year in front of a QB we drafted 3 years ago. besides there will be a geno smith+3 coming out next year. we should ride weeden's arm this year and let him prove himself (or not).
if milner and jones or jordan are gone do we trade down no question and pick up another pick or do we take BPA? i really think the heat behind smith is going to rise and teams will start throwing things at the first 6 teams to move up and get him. if we can trade down and still get a player we need and pick up a second, i say we do that.

You might be right, and if it meant moving down a spot or two for an extra pick I'd be on board. However the Lions and Eagles are in a great spot to trade down as well, which I see happening as of today. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Bills hop up to 4 to grab Smith. The Cardinals or Bills have to take a QB though, it's just a matter of how much they like Geno over the seemingly rest of the 2nd round talents.
