(Newser) – Big move in the NFL today: Wes Welker will be suiting up with the Denver Broncos next season instead of the New England Patriots, reports the Boston Globe. Which means, of course, that one of Tom Brady's favorite targets will now be one of Peyton Manning's favorite targets. The Pro Bowler signed a two-year deal for $12 million.

And Lord Manning implored King John to scour the land for a Wes, so that it may be his. And it was done.......

Bill Belichick's ego clearly got in the way of keeping Wes.  I'm sure Tom Brady is pissed.  Great move by Denver.
