It has been a year of drama and uncertainty after the reported “tension” between Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and Robert Kraft.
Some thought that there would be a coaching change that Belichick would move back to a former he team he coached with the New York Giants. But Patriots fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter, both will indeed be back with the team next season.
Ryan Hannable tweeted a summary of what was said by Schefter just moments ago.
