The former NFL receiver is making the rounds DeShone Kizer Jersey White , presumably as a candidate to coach the team’s wide receivers or special teams."One of the positions still left unfilled on the Green Bay Packers’ coaching staff is the wide receiver coach job. Head coach Matt LaFleur has taken his time in putting the final touches on his staff for 2019, but we have news of a new candidate for that position.The latest individual to interview for a job in Green Bay is a former player who had tremendous success as a wide receiver in the NFL: Wes Welker. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated broke the news, reporting that Welker interviewed last week for a job. Welker has spent the last two seasons working for the Houston Texans as an offensive and special teams assistant. Texans head coach Bill O’Brien was Welker’s wide receivers coach early in his Patriots tenure before being promoted to quarterbacks coach and eventually to offensive coordinator. A plausible position for Welker in Green Bay would be as the wide receivers coach, though his special teams experience — both as a player and a coach — could make him a candidate for a more substantial post in that area.In a 12-year NFL playing career, Welker caught 903 passes for 9,924 yards and 50 touchdowns, doing most of his damage in six years with the New England Patriots. Welker was twice named first-team All-Pro, in 2009 and 2011. The latter was his best season David Bakhtiari Jersey White , as he led the NFL with 122 receptions, gained 1,569 yards, and scored nine times. Welker was also an accomplished return man, taking both kickoffs and punts in his first three years in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins before focusing on punt returns as a Patriot. He also won college football’s award for the best special teams player in 2003 when playing at Texas Tech.Welker retired from the NFL after the 2015 season due to numerous concussions over the course of his playing career.In addition to the wide receivers coach position remaining open, the Packers still have not hired any special teams coaches for 2019. It would appear to be a big jump for Welker to be under consideration as special teams coordinator, but a job as a primary special teams assistant could be a possibility. Green Bay has strayed away from extending players at or over the age of 30, and that trend continued this offseason."Shouts of joy and hurrahs filled the air on March 12 when the Green Bay Packers uncharacteristically leaped head-first into free agency. After plenty of years in which the team shied away from acquiring external free agents http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-aaron-jones-jersey , the Packers, under second-year GM Brian Gutekunst, created waves within NFL free agency. But even in a more active signing period than usual, Green Bay’s watchful eye over the age of 30, a trait emphasized by Gutekunst’s predecessor Ted Thompson, remained.The Packers signed four significant free agents on the second day of free agency — all between the ages of 25 and 27. This is nothing new, as the Packers have rarely given multiyear deals to position players close to exceeding the age-30 mark — Charles Woodson, Julius Peppers Bart Starr Jersey White , and Tramon Williams are a few rare exceptions. But the Packers’ pickiness with age extends to internal signings as well, and they have been successfully cautious in recent memory. That may bode well with the Packers’ Wednesday decisions to let Clay Matthews and Randall Cobb walk. Morgan Burnett is the latest example of Green Bay’s keen foresight. A free agent last offseason at age 29 and already impacted by nagging injuries, Burnett was not a long-term priority for Green Bay. Instead, the eight-year veteran signed a three-year contract with Pittsburgh. After an injury-laden first season with the Steelers in which he played in only 37% of the team’s defensive snaps, Burnett was reportedly set to be released as of Friday. While the fit in Pittsburgh on a new squad certainly played a role in the versatile Burnett’s short stay, the safety is just one of many key former Packers whom the team allowed to leave before signing a third contract.Here are a few other notable recent cases of the Packers moving on from starters hovering around age 30.Recent Packer starters to leave GB near age 30YearPlayerAge left GBContractLength of stay with new teamYearPlayerAge left GBContractLength of stay with new teamOutside of Lang’s Pro Bowl season in his first year in Detroit, the names on this list underwhelmed once leaving Green Bay and never stayed the full length of their new contracts. Even Sitton and Hawk, whose contracts were terminated prior to their final contract seasons by the Packers Corey Linsley Jersey , never found a stable home and level of production elsewhere. It is safe to say that the Packer front office judged their impending internal free agents wisely.The question then becomes what Green Bay will do with their rising free agents in Mike Daniels, Bryan Bulaga, and Blake Martinez. As APC’s Wednesday curds pointed out, the Packers’ spending in the 2019 free agency could limit the money available to re-sign these players. But perhaps the biggest factor remains age.Daniels and Bulaga will be ages 31 and 30, respectively, at the end of their deals. With injury concerns to both and rumors last offseason that the Packers were hoping to restructure Bulaga’s contract, it is reasonable to believe that Green Bay will move on from both players based on precedent. Martinez, on the other hand Kenny Clark Jersey White , will be 26 years old and in the prime of his career. Steadily improving each year in the league and at a position in which the Packers have limited depth, Martinez may be in line for an extension.Green Bay’s decisions this week to let Cobb and Matthews sign elsewhere, particularly Cobb on a Cowboy-friendly one-year, $5 million deal, point to the team’s continued hesitancy with players near the age of 30. And with free agency looming for another pair of long-time contributors like Daniels and Bulaga at the end of the year, it is likely they will be looking for new homes.
