    The New England Patriots and wide receiver Wes Welker failed to reach an agreement on a long-term contract, via a source. The two sides had until 4 p.m. ET on Monday to hammer out a long-term contract since the Patriots had placed the franchise tag on Welker, which he already had signed. Without a new deal, Welker will earn a guaranteed $9.5 million in 2012. If the Patriots decline to tag him next year, he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

    Poor guy. I feel sooo bad for him.

    $9.5 million and catches passes from Tom Brady, I think he'll be ok.

    Were they even negotiating? I think the franchise tag was a done deal in both sides' minds.

    I think so too [MENTION=1]SteveRobWhatever[/MENTION]. I think Welker knew this was going to be the deal the whole time, hence the reason he came right in and signed like no big deal...

    If he caught that pass he'd be signed.
