Wes Welker and former Patriot defender Willie McGinest have publicly sparred over the receiver's contract dispute with the team. McGinest called Welker out for his "diva" attitude, but the two have since mended fences. "I'm cool with Wes. I never had a problem with him in the beginning," McGinest said. "I was just trying to give him the blueprint of how things go down (in Foxboro). If you're franchised, and you have a chance to make $9.5 million, grab it. It's more than half of your last contract. If they want to franchise you again next year, that number goes up. That's $20 million in two years. That's quarterback money."
