The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Welker did not show up for the first day of the Patriots voluntary strength and conditioning program.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Again, the news comes as no surprise. Welker drew the Patriots franchise tag as an unrestricted free agent. While he'd like a longer-term contract, Welker has made it clear he'd be willing to play for the $9.4 million franchise tender this fall. That obviously doesn't mean he's ready to show up for voluntary work -- or perhaps even for full-scale OTAs when they begin next month. In case you missed it, recent reports have indicated there's been little progress on the long-term contract.
