With 890 career receptions and 50 career touchdowns as well as 88 post-season receptions and 5 post-season touchdowns, Wes Welker is mulling over retirement.
In 2014, Welker played in 14 games (starting 8) and had 49 receptions with 2 touchdowns which was his lowest output since 2005 (which was the year that he broke through with the Miami Dolphins.
The 33-year-old wide receiver, who is slated to become a free agent next month, is considering retirement after several years of head injuries and declining production, sources have told FOX Sports.
One of the sources said no final decision has been made, though Welker has told concerned friends, family members and associates he’s at least giving serious thought to walking away.
Welker has mulled the issue in recent weeks after telling reporters in the immediate wake of the divisional-round loss to the Indianapolis Colts he was “not even thinking about that right now.” One day later, as he and his Broncos teammates were cleaning out their lockers, Welker was asked about returning to Denver and replied, “I don’t know. There are a lot of things I’ve got to figure out in the offseason.”
