Wes Welker: They're no longer New England Patriots teammates, but Welker says he's still friends with Matt Cassel, set to make $15 million quarterbacking the Kansas City Chiefs this season.
"I'm very happy for him because now he can pick up all the restaurant bills and things like that," the Pats receiver said Saturday at the charity football camp he holds each year at his former high school in Oklahoma City. "If I ever need a loan, I can always come to him."
But Cassel, one of the camp's guest coaches, merely mused at "how jokes change from one year to the next."
"He's still picking up everything," Cassel said.
"It's kind of the turnover of the NFL," Welker said. "You have the guy here, and then you don't.
"You develop good friends, and then they leave."
