After the first day of free agency, Wes Welker remained on the market available to strike a deal with any of the 32 teams.

Welker and the Patriots are going to dance a while -- could be a week. Others teams have made contact with Welker.

Both sides aren’t close on a deal. What the Patriots have offered is not a real offer.

I still think he finds a way to return to New England.

Both sides know where the other is. All it takes is one call one way or the other and it’s over.

I’m not sure how much of a market is out there for him.
