As of late Saturday night, the expectation is that the Patriots and Wes Welker will not reach a contract extension by the Monday deadline.
A source close to the wide receiver said that as of Saturday dialogue between the sides wasn't overly active.
The source said that at this point, it would be a surprise if an extension was reached, but cautioned that things always could shift as the deadline approaches.
