Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker recently revealed that New England’s contract extension offers diminished in overall value shortly after Welker signed his one year, $9.5 million franchise tender.
It is currently unknown whether or not the reduced offer was a consequence of Welker’s decision to detail the difficult negotiation process between himself and the organization publicly or whether the Patriots are simply attempting to capitalize on the leverage Welker sacrificed by ending his holdout and signing the tender.
