Wes Welker signs one-year deal with Rams
Free agent wide receiver Wes Welker has signed with the St. Louis Rams, the team confirmed Monday evening.
Welker had worked out for the Rams earlier in the day and has apparently done enough to prove he is healthy and can still contribute. Over the weekend, Welker expressed a desire to continue his NFL career and said he is frustrated that no teams have given him a chance. Perhaps the Rams were persuaded by his comments.
Welker suffered a series of concussions toward the end of his time with the Denver Broncos, and many felt he should retire for his own good. He caught just 49 passes for 464 yards last season, which were both his lowest totals since 2006.
Earlier this season, Welker posted a hilarious tweet that summarized how different his life is now compared to a year ago. He must be thrilled to get another shot at age 34.
