Wes Welker wants to continue his NFL career despite a lack of interest this offseason.

Welker is open to a return to the New England Patriots.

"I want to play," Welker told WBZ-FM, via the Boston Herald. "The more I'm away from it, the more I want to go out there and be on a team and everything else. It's just kind of taking everything a day at a time, making sure I'm training and doing everything I need to do to be ready.

"Once June really gets going here and July, I'll be (training) really hard, and just knowing that I'm going to be ready. There will be an opportunity at some point. If it works out, if it's a good situation and everything else, obviously I want to continue playing."
