Julian Edelman took issue with Wes Welker’s comments on Bill Belichick

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman took issue with his former teammate Wes Welker’s comments in “The Dynasty: New England Patriots” docuseries.

Edelman and Welker were teammates from 2009-2012. Welker had an incredible run in New England, recording 672 receptions for 7,459 yards and 37 touchdowns. Edelman took over Welker’s role when he left for the Denver Broncos in 2013.

He made it clear on his “Games with Names” podcast on Tuesday that he still has love for Welker. However, he did have an issue with how Welker painted Bill Belichick, particularly in his suggestions of favoritism towards Aaron Hernandez, as transcribed by NESN.
