"Excited to have Wes join the Broncos," Broncos VP of Football Operations John Elway tweeted Wednesday afternoon. "His production & toughness will be a great asset!"
Welker, who will reportedly make $12 million over the next two years with Denver, has caught at least 111 passes in five of the last six seasons in New England, amassing no fewer than 1,165 yards in those same years.
He'll no doubt make the Broncos even more lethal, as Manning will now be throwing to Welker in the middle with Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker on the outside.
