Someone with "intimate knowledge of the team’s thinking" tells Boston Herald columnist Ron Borges the Patriots won't use the franchise tag on free agent Wes Welker. It means there's a strong chance Welker will walk, as it's highly doubtful the frugal Pats would be Welker's top bidder on the open market. Welker would be due $11.4 if franchise tagged for the second consecutive season. That's hardly a burdensome sum for a player with Welker's track record, but steep for a team with a top-heavy cap situation. The Pats have two weeks to change their mind with regards to Tom Brady's security blanket, but there's little reason to believe they will.

The Pats know when to let someone walk... If they aren't buying, there's a reason for it... He's no spring chicken either and has had some injury concerns as well... Big buyer beware on him IMHO.

Age on a skill position player is his poison.
