Patriots Player News

The Boston Globe's Jim McBride recently caught up with Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who clarified his recent "the last 25-years" comment that he referenced to give fans some optimism heading into 2023. Belichick said that it was in reference to their history, not their current approach. “We’re not resting on our past laurels; that’s not the message to the team or the fans,” said Belichick, “We have never operated that way and aren’t now.”

NBC Sports Boston's Tom Curran talked about the recent retirement ceremony for Devin McCourty and described the relationship between Belichick and Robert Kraft as appearing like there may be some friction between the two. "The non-committal verbiage (from Belichick) around Mac when you know that Robert is laying at your feet blame for Mac failing last year is probably the biggest wishbone in all of this," said Curran. "So, I think they're wary of each other, and they're kind of peeing on their territory."
