Wes Welker happy now in Denver

On Thursday, the Denver Broncos introduced their newest receiver, Wes Welker, and the former Patriot talked about his new job with another AFC powerhouse.

“I’m definitely excited about the opportunity,” Welker said at a press conference in Denver. “I’d definitely like to thank New England for the six years there and all the trust and everything they put in me and the opportunities I got.

Um....Ya know

Just a class ACt. Wish him well.

I wish Wes the best, but I also wish he stayed with the Pats.

OK to let him go, if that's their choice, but he should have been treated as the first class act that he is--and always has been.  Shame on the Patriots for their shabby behavior.

Hard to believe that the Pats think they'll be a better team without Welker.  He has to be one of the all-time great receivers.

It's been great cheering for Wes for the past six years.  He will be missed.  We wish him much success.  He is an amazing athlete and was always a class act here in Boston.

First ballot Hall of Famer.  Didn't his hair look great?  The doctor did a great job.
