Wilson won't have to scramble to buy nearly as much time with Welker out there. Guy is the best slot WR in the NFL and possibly the greatest possession receiver of all time. And he's not shown any signs of letting up.
And I don't understand the comments that his success at NE is only due to their system.
The dude knows how to get open... period... and his YAC is pretty damn good as well.
Hell, I just went and researched his YAC... and he led the league the past two years in total yards after the catch.
If he's available, sign him to at least a 2-year contract.
Because an inside slot receiver is not what this team truly needs. Golden Tate IMO should be this team's Wes Welker, as that's exactly where I'd move him with a speed guy who can really stretch a defense (like Wallace) on the outside. Now, that's no slight against Tate -- far from it. It's just acknowledging that Tate could do a heck of a lot of damage as an inside slot receiver (where I view him being ideally suited to).
