Update: Welker reportedly plans to test the free agent market next week, ESPN.com reports.
Recommendation: There have been reports that Welker and the Patriots are "closing in on" a multi-year contract agreement, but as good a fit as that seems on paper, it's plausible that the wideout would be receptive to a dazzling offer from another team. Whether one would come his way is the real question here, with our gut feeling being that he will remain with New England when all is said and done.
