Julian Edelman accuses Wes Welker of making up Bill Belichick stories: ‘We know you don’t like’ him

Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman accused former teammate Wes Welker of “trying to make up stories” about their playing days due to his bias against longtime New England coach Bill Belichick.

During the latest installment of his “Games With Names” podcast, Edelman discussed Apple TV+’s “The Dynasty: New England Patriots” documentary — which delved into the past 20 years of the franchise that included six Super Bowl titles — with former wideout Matthew Slater, and alleged Welker lied about Belichick’s relationship with the late Aaron Hernandez.

“Welker’s out here saying like Aaron Hernandez got away with murder — figuratively speaking — at practice; that’s not even true,” Edelman said.
