Agreed to terms on a 2-yr deal with Wes Welker. Excited to have Wes join the Broncos. His production & toughness will be a great asset!

UPDATE 2:45 PM After getting low-balled by the New England Patriots for the second-straight offseason, Wes Welker appears to be finally ready to depart New England, and the Denver Broncos could be the ones to land his services:
Filed to ESPN: Broncos in serious talks, trying to hammer out an agreement with Patriots WR Wes Welker. Decision expected today.

Welker has notched five 111-+ reception and 1,100-+ yard seasons in New England, and going from Tom Brady to Peyton Manning for quarterbacks wouldn’t be a bad move. – Despite having one of the most dynamic running backs in Chris Johnson, the Tennessee Titans are looking to strengthen their backfield, and Shonn Greene maybe the answer:
Barring 11th hour snag, it's expected to happen RT @MikeSilver I'm told Shonn Greene and the Titans are closing in on a deal. #nyj
