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. There he was Tuesday afternoon. No. 19.
The Rams 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.
