    amendola to the pats, welker to the broncos

    interesting mix up for next years ffb, especially those in early drafts...how will this play out? welkers numbers shouldnt take a huge hit with peyton throwing to him, but then again with decker and demaryius in the mix who knows? amendola should see a stat bump if he stays healthy, but at what price? he could go as early as the 3rd round, although could end up with WR1 type numbers...what do you guys think?

    well, decker wasnt really a slot receiver to begin with, so its not like he is being replaced...but you definitely have to wonder if it will impact him because there are "more mouths to feed" so to speak...i do know for sure that brandon stokely is now next to worthless lol

    Well stokely was signed yet, and now won't be. I doubt Welker gets the massive targets like he got in NE. I dount he gets more than 120ish target this year and he already gets the 60 Stokely got and I think he cannibalizes alot of the targets from TEs (who has 143 targets) - so I doubt Deker see a significant drop from his 123 targets last year, maybe 1 or 2 less a game.

    All this assumes, of course, that you think Dekker and Thomas are any good, and didn't just have their stats artificially propped up by Manning.

    I think all 3 Denver WR's values take a slight hit. Amendola stock goes up a fair amount.

    Great Pick up by Denv. Will be the favorites to win at least the AFC.

    Stokely had value? Last time he was worth anything was in 2004.

    Same white guys, different teams. Bigger question is which qb becomes older overnight first. Neither qb really needs to give a shit anymore. They are set for generations.

    I was an Amendola fan while he was with the Rams. I hope he has a big season. He should get a great boost.

    surprised NE let welker go, but he should have just as good a performance in denver with manning.

    Amendola, if he could stay healthy, should put up similar numbers as Welker did at NE..not sure about how well this plays out for Welker though..

    i think that he was going no matter what, the deal for amendola was in the works before welker was gone. Its a bad move for pats IMO

    Motivation will not be an issue for Manning or Brady, you don't get to be as good as they are without a very high level of drive and competitiveness.

    definitely a boost to amendolas value provided he stays healthy. i agree though, i think both players will be drafted way too high come draft day and it will be a pretty steep price just due to the hype

    Just have to try and find that super sleeper WR in later rounds, or FA List. They always surface at some point.

    I can't draft the injury prone Amendola early, just can't.

    I like Amendola over Welker. He's younger and getting better every year. Welker is not a go to or at least shouldn't be in clutch situations. He drops too many very catchable balls in huge games.

    Welker will probably still be solid with Peyton as qb.

    i think denver benefits more from this trade . amendola does not have the same skill and as someone already mentioned is injury prone.

    Welker will fit in nicely in Denver, but Amendola will be a seamless replacement for him for the Pats.

    Deker to take the biggest hit out of all this. I think this will help DTs scoring production

    Amendola, and Sanders if they end up getting him too, will tear it up in New England. If Gronk can stay healthy watch out...

    Welker will put up his usual numbers unless Manning gets him killed by laying him out over the middle.
