According to Mike Reiss, former Dolphins WR coach Wes Welker has been hired to the Commanders coaching staff.
Welker will be a personnel analyst and work with both the coaching staff and personnel office, per John Keim. He’s only been a position coach so far after retiring from his decade-plus as a player.
Welker, 43, began his NFL career with the Chargers back in 2004. He joined the Dolphins during his rookie season and was eventually traded to the Patriots in 2007 for second- and seventh-round picks.
Welker played six years for the Patriots and totaled 1,000 yards receiving in five of those seasons before he departed and signed a free agent contract with the Broncos in 2013. He ultimately finished out his career with the Rams.
After calling it a career, Welker was hired by the Texans in 2017 as an offensive assistant. The 49ers hired him as their WRs coach in 2019 and he caught on with the Dolphins to the same role in 2022. Miami let him go this past offseason.
