Welker is now looking at offers from other teams. This situation's gone back and forth a lot, so nothing's final.

This comes after reports that Welker had "mild disdain" for the Patriots and is "a little paranoid" with his role in the offense.
Welker's paranoia came after only playing 64% of the snaps in week one against the Titans and only being targeted five times. Welker's role immediately went back to normal after week one, but it seems like this really stuck with him.
