Every single one of you mad at the Dolphins for giving up Welker learn, how the football salary cap system works. Please read below.
Learn the story the Pats offered him a contract the dolphins could not match. The Dolphins qualified Welker at 1.3 million. The patriots went out and offered him a huge contract read below.
"The Patriots plan to sign Miami restricted free-agent wide receiver Wes Welker to a seven-year offers sheet worth $38.5 million. Once Welker signs the offer sheet, the Dolphins will have seven days to match it. If they decide not to, they would get the Patriots' second-round draft pick."
You could say that the pats pulled a "KEVIN LOWE" on the dolphins. They could not match that offer sheet so they traded Welker and got an additional seventh round draft pick instead of just a second.
Welker than signe a 5 year 18.1 million dollar contract with the Pats.
The offer sheet was a poison pill as described in the NFL!!!! It's away around a system of a team can't match.
Do you guys think Welker will be that good without Moss and Stallworth beside him, he's open because he's not playing against the tops secondaries who are doubling Moss instead.
