Wes Welker has agreed to terms with Denver Broncos.Details of the deal and analysis to come.

UPDATE: [4:57]
UPDATE: [5:02]
Deal is reported at 2 years 12 million dollars. 6 million dollars per year, well within their cap space. Patriots clearly not willing to match that offer, or Welker not willing to deal with the Patriots anymore.
Welker to Broncos now unclear
According to a Michael Giardi tweet, Welker is looking for a matched offer from the Patriots.

A source close to the situation telling me that Welker has gone back to the Patriots to see if they'll match the offer #PatriotsTalkNow it's time for the Patriots to use some of that cap space and pay that man!

Latest: Welker talking with Broncos
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting on Twitter that Wes Welker is in serious talks with the Denver Broncos.
A move to mile high makes a lot of sense for Welker if they are offering him a large contract. The only way I saw Welker wanting to leave town would be to play with a quarterback of equal caliber to Brady. The highly sophisticated option-route type offense that the Patriots run is made possible by guys like Welker who can read the field as a receiver, and a Quarterback who can keep it all straight in his head.
The only other quarterback who has more control over the offense than Brady is Peyton Manning. If Denver is offering Welker a large contract, and money is his deciding factor, than Wes has every reason to leave town. He can get the pay day he's wanted, as well as move into an offensive system that will be suited for his skills as an agile, intelligent slot receiver.
More to come as this story develops.
