The move makes no sense now that they've brought in Amendola. Welker would have continued catching ~100 per year for the next few years while the window is still there. His stats showed no significant downward trend. Why get rid of a proven commodity who has great chemistry with your QB for an unproven, more expensive, injury prone option?
