Wes Welker claims to be planning for the 2015 season and not retirement.

Welker told the Denver Post on Monday that he's "just getting ready for 2015" following a report last week that he was seriously considering retirement.

Asked about the report that he has assuaged concerned friends and family members with thoughts of retirement, Welker responded, "Never ever came out of my mouth."

The Denver Broncos are not expected to re-sign Welker, who has had a tough time staying on the field due to concussions.
