Patriots owner Bob Kraft says he'd like to see Wes Welker "be a Patriot for life," but that it "takes two sides."
"I think both sides would like to do a deal, but it requires intelligence and putting our team first," Kraft continued. "...We’re always trying to do whatever we can do to put our team in the best position to win. ... We try to have values for every position and every player." In other words, the Pats have no intention of breaking the bank to lock up their 31-year-old slot dynamo. Welker caved rather meekly on his franchise tender, and may eventually do the same in long-term talks.

Wes Welker insists he's "not frustrated whatsoever" with his contract situation.
Welker suggested the exact opposite earlier this week, but is now in full-on backtrack mode. "I know the words that came out probably seemed that way but I’m not frustrated at all," Welker claimed Saturday. "I’m making five times what I did last year so there’s no frustration here." Welker also said he does not expect 2012 to be his final season in New England. "No, I don’t forsee that happening and I just take it a day at a time."

Wes Welker says he "probably misspoke" when he said long-term talks with the Patriots were getting worse.
Unsurprisingly, Welker's about-face comes one day after the Boston Globe reported his decision to go public about the sides' long-term talks had "not gone over well with the Patriots." Seemingly aware he's severely bungled his leverage, it's doubtful Welker weighs in on the discussions again before the July 16 deadline to sign franchise players to long-term contracts.

According to the Boston Globe, Wes Welker's decision to go public about contract negotiations over the past couple of weeks "has not gone over well with the Patriots."
Welker made the ESPN tour a couple of weeks ago, dropping hints that he would hold out at least through next month's minicamp. The Patriots have subsequently reduced their long-term offer. The Globe believes Welker's actions have "only increased the chances that 2012 will be his final season with the team." Logan Mankins landed a lucrative long-term deal after calling out owner Robert Kraft, though Mankins had more leverage than Welker.

Rob Gronkowski (ankle surgery) has ditched his walking boot.
Now walking without a limp, Gronkowski has been doing core work at the Patriots offseason program. While he may need a couple of weeks to be ready for football activities, Gronk should be back to pre-injury form long before training camp.
