Patriots expected to tag Welker, add another wide receiver

[Sportsguy9695]

Wide receiver is looking like a busy position for the Patriots as they head toward the free agency season.Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com reports that the team is still expected to place the franchise tag on Wes Welker before Monday’s deadline for placing the franchise tag passes. The tag carries a price of around $9.4 million, although there have been reports out of Boston that Welker won’t be in any hurry to sign the tender. Reiss believes the Patriots are waiting until the last minute to avoid creating a “hard ball” situation with Welker, although there’s little hope of avoiding it if that’s the way Welker chooses to respond to the tag
