Wes Welker said Wednesday in an ESPN Radio interview he's had a chance to speak with both his new quarterback, Peyton Manning, and his old one, Tom Brady, since his decision to leave the New England Patriots to sign with the Denver Broncos.

When asked on "Mike and Mike in the Morning" whether he has had a chance to talk with Manning, he said he recently had dinner with his new quarterback in Miami.

"We just kind of caught up and talked about the year and different things about the offense and stuff like that. I'll be working with him next week and start to get that process going," said Welker, who signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Broncos last month.

Later in the interview, he said he and Brady have talked often since he signed with the Broncos.

"Tom's one of my good friends, and we stay in contact quite often," Welker said.
