Former Patriots quarterback Tom Brad D is believed to be keen to leave New England as part of coach Bill Belichick’s failure to appreciate the quarterback enough for his efforts.
If Brady had such a position, Belichick is definitely taking a different approach with Brady’s successor.
“He’s here and he’s doing what we told him to do,” Belichick told reporters on Monday about Kim Newton. “He worked. He is obviously a very talented player and is looking forward to continuing to work with him. We’ll just take him day in and day out, but he’s given us everything he had and we’ve tried to put the team in a competitively excellent position. We’ll see how it turns out. I’m sure a lot of things will change with the season. We are there right now and keep trying to get better every day. “
One thing that can change is whether or not an injury can occur. A leg injury ended his 2019 season after two games, and a shoulder problem derailed a promising 2018, during which the Panthers started 6-2.
However, if Newton can stay healthy (and if the Patriots can keep him healthy), the Patriots could end up in better shape than anyone could have imagined, a quarterback that is also available in late June.
