Wes Welker signed with the Denver Broncos
The New England Patriots lost their most proficient receiver to free agency, when Wes Welker signed a contract with the Denver Broncos.
On Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings, Pats owner Robert Kraft was asked about Welker's status, and said that he wants to see Welker be ``a Patriot for life'' but that New England would have put ``our team first'' in negotiations.
