Vice-President Elway hails receiver’s arrival on Twitter
Englewood, Colorado: Receiver Wes Welker, who is New England’s all-time reception leader, has signed a two-year contract with the Denver Broncos, the National Football League team announced on Wednesday.
John Elway, the Broncos Executive Vice-President of Football Operations, announced that Welker is joining the AFC West champions but did not go into financial details.
“Excited to have Wes join the Broncos,” Elway said on Twitter. “His production & toughness will be a great asset!”
The 31-year-old Welker was a major factor in the Patriots going to two Super Bowls.
Welker became New England’s all-time leader in receptions last year with a total of 672 catches and 37 touchdowns in six seasons with the team.
