I hate how they went about this because Welker seems like a real stand up guy.. one of the few hard nose receivers that are worth their weight in gold yet don't act like it. That said, I like the strategy behind the Patriots move, grabbing Amendola (spellcheck?) is a brilliant move. He was amazing last year on a garbage team and I think will fit in very well with Brady and company.

I expect Welker to make the Patriots pay in the short term though, Denver's receiver core is going to be a nightmare this year for defenses.

Yeah I was a big Welker fan and sad to see him go. He also is one of those guys that will always burn the old team when he plays against them. Always did that to Miami when we played them. Not like our defense is good either so it shouldn't be too hard

If Amendola can stay healthy (which is a big IF) then I think he will do great with Tom Brady throwing him the ball instead of Sam Bradford.
