Normally, the addition of a five-time Pro Bowler would make your toes tingle instead of your stomach drop, but the latter happened when I read the news.
Wes Welker is officially a Ram.
St. Louis needed a receiver after Stedman Bailey's latest screwup, preferably one capable of boosting their league-worst third down conversion rate.
Welker, one of the most-effective slot receivers and third-down converters in recent memory, was a free agent still in search of a place to play.
Perfect match.
Except for that whole brain injury thing.
Welker has sustained multiple concussions, at least six documented by the media, during a career that's spanned 11 seasons, 890 catches, 9,822 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns.
