The Patriots will likely place their franchise tag on Wes Welker, according to a league source.
The team has been discussing a new deal with the wide receiver, but if one cannot be reached, New England plans to use the $9.5 million tag for the position.
Welker, 30, led the NFL with 122 receptions in 2011.
