Wes Welker explains jump to Broncos from New England Patriots

[Denver Native (Carol)]

The league's most productive wide receiver over the past six seasons — with 672 catches in the regular season, including at least 11 touchdown catches in five of those seasons — arrived in Denver on Thursday hoping to add plenty more victories to a career filled with them.

Former Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker was formally introduced as the newest piece in the Broncos' high-powered offense, and Welker said he is happy to be in his new football home.

"Denver, I felt, would be a great fit for me," Welker said. "They're a great team and I want to win."

He won't be catching 100 balls here, but he's a nice, shiny new toy for Peyton.

I think that the "I want to win" quote is spot on. Welker could have gotten a lot more from another team IMO if he would have tested the market. Those are the types of players you want on your team.

This is the best part...


Welker said coming to

Denver was important to him, and that "I was the one pitching to him" when he was asked what Elway said to close the deal.

His pitch to Elway?

"That I want to win, that above everything."

I still can't believe he said the hardest part was leaving Brady. Lost some cool points, IMO.

They're good friends and Brady's one of the two best quarterbacks of this generation. What receiver wouldn't like that situation?

Before homosexuality came out of the closet, it was perfectly ok for a man to talk about other male friends. Now days, if you do, you get called a fag.:tsk:

I have no problem with a man talking about other male friends, as long as it doesn't include Tom Brady.
