His agent shopped him around. He wanted to play for a contender. Unfortunately, his success cost him his integrity.

You didn’t answer my question - is your employer 100% honest? So sad for you to realize you “sold your soul” for a job.

I doubt the players themselves knew what was going on. I hate NE as much as any Cowboy fan could but, you’re being a little ridiculous.

Here is a recap of what transpired regarding Welker's move to New England. If his agent was shopping him around, he did it very clandestinely so as to not even be mentioned. He didn't even get Welker a very good deal. Welker needs a new agent.

On March 1, 2007, the Dolphins offered Welker, a restricted free agent, a second-round tender (the second-lowest tender) of $1.35 million for a one-year contract. The Patriots, who were interested in Welker, had originally considered signing Welker, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet which Miami would have had seven days to match; according to The Boston Globe, that sheet would have contained a poison pill provision which would have made the offer difficult for the Dolphins to match.[6] Ultimately, however, the Patriots decided not to use such an offer, and traded the Dolphins their 2007 second- and seventh-round draft picks for Welker.
