Rams sign Wes Welker

[Bluesy]

I don't think he has much left to offer at this point but it sure doesn't hurt to sign him and give it a shot. With Stedman being out he's got a good opportunity.

 

[Robocop]

this just screams desperate for answers but they probably won't get any

Gurley, Austin, Britt, Quick and now Welker. Who are they going to stop? I cannot wait for last 8 games. opcorn:opcorn:

Haha, where is your blue font for that comment?

Wes Welker is back.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that the former Patriots and Broncos wideout signed a deal with the St. Louis Rams, per a source informed of the team's plans. Coach Jeff Fisher later confirmed the addition during a meeting with reporters.

Welker's one-year deal allows him to earn, along with his base salary, up to $700K in incentives, based on playing time and catches, Rapoport added, per a source involved with the negotiations.

Welker worked out Monday for the Rams amid word that receiverStedman Bailey will serve a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Welker hasn't appeared in a game since catching two passes last season for 42 yards against the Raiders in Week 17. A string of concussions sunk Welker's career with the Broncos, but the Ramshaven't forgotten how productive the 34-year-old pass-catcher was during six outstanding campaigns with the Patriots.

"We've done physicals, we've done everything," Fisher said Monday of Welker, adding: "I think he'll eventually move some chains for us."

The Rams need all the help they can get through the air. Outside of Tavon Austin, St. Louis doesn't have a single player with more than 20 catches. If Welker can still play, he could see plenty of snaps for a team in need of a spark.

I like it. Welker is a guy capable of moving the chains on 3rd down. Best of all....he CATCHES THE BALL!!! Stay healthy son!!!

That is AWESOME that you're his father. You never let us know until now?

 

[-X-]

I've always wanted a guy on the Rams with the same name as mine

We signed William Gay too?

 

[RamzFanz]

Up to $1.8 million for the rest of the season with all bonuses.

(and a superbowl ring)

Hope he's helpful on 3rd down

 

[shaunpinney]

i disagree. he needed the win attitude from the cheats.

maybe he can stand next to fisher on the sideline and be in his ear the whole game, "try to win the game, go for the td, don't let the other team hang around, go for the td, let's put some freaking points on the board, go for the td, don't call 3 freaking runs up the middle on the edge of fg range, go for the td,............". crap like that.

I'm going to get a t-shirt printed saying "Punting's for pansies"

Cignetti needs to watch this tape( and more), see how NE and Denver used Welker, incorporate those plays into his playcalling.

If Welker is close to his old self, defenses will have to worry about 3 weapons (TG, TA, Welker), it will create opportunities for other skill players.

 

[RedRam]

Fortunately, he has Denver between him and New England or this wouldn't be acceptable.

Welker still might need a bleaching to make sure he is fully disinfected!

interesting

While you're printing, do some unis for the receivers that say, "Foles! Throw it here!" with an arrow pointing to the chin. With any luck, if the receivers can't catch the ball, it'll stick in their face mask.

 

[RedRam]

BTW, I like the move. Hopefully, guys will see it as a sign that they're not getting it done catching the ball and step it up. There's somebody that could come in and take their spot.

I wonder if a penis pump works on receiver's fingers?

Made you look! :yess:

A full hazmat intervention. But two seasons with Denver was a good first step. Now we need to revive his career and beat the Patriots in the SB. That's all.

Fire under our WRs arses - Britt seems to have disappeared maybe theres a new instagram video of his wife's ass out there that I need to see - I've given up on the Quick experiment (i never liked it) and Bailey is gone for 4 games (again)
