Saying […]

If the New England Patriots are able to keep Tom Brady in the fold, it won’t be because the team’s owner, Robert Kraft, oversteps his bounds.

Bill Belichick isn’t ready to talk about whether Tom Brady could be back with the New England Patriots next season.

Bill Belichick said he had no knowledge that a film crew employed by the New England Patriots was taping coaches on the Cincinnati Bengals’ sidelines during their game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.

When the New England Patriots signed former free agent wide receiver Michael Floyd to the roster on December 15, 2016, not too many questioned New England coach Bill Belichick’s decision making.

The Ryan Fitzpatrick contract saga took an interesting twist this week, and it had nothing to do with the New York Jets.
