‘Biggest Mystery In Sports’: Julian Edelman Drops Surprising Take On Bill Belichick Patriots Contract

Bill Belichick and his role in the New England Patriots organization have made some of the most intriguing stories in the NFL world. He spent over two decades with the team and is both head coach and a general manager for the team. The Patriots didn’t really have much luck in the last few seasons and many thought that Robert Kraft will fire his head coach. Belichick is the best head coach in league history and the perfect role model for young generations. The Patriots gave Belichick a new contract despite all rumors about his firing. How much will he earn?

Julian Edelman is one of the many players who spoke about Belichick’s impact on the organization. He couldn’t say much about Belichick’s enw deal with the Patriots, but did say that it is the biggest mystery in the world of football.

The former Patriots wide receiver also noted that Patriots never share any details of Belichick’s contract. It’s like a top secret. Edelman was also surprised that the media found out about the new contract Belichick signed.

“Historically, nobody ever knew anything about coach’s contract,” Edelman said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd. “There’s three people in the world that do, Mr. Kraft, Jonathan Kraft and Bill. No one else knows anything, no one talks of anything … It was very weird for me to hear that because no one talks about the contract. It’s the biggest mystery in sports.”

Coach Belichick ignores contract talks, focused on Patriots roster

Belichick made a few surprising decisions in the last few seasons and some analysts questioned his moves. They all forget one major detail. You don’t question Belichick’s word. The legendary head coach has his own way of doing things and one should not really understand it. Belichick has built a dynasty and that’s the only thing that matters right now.

When it comes to the 2023 season, the Patriots have a 2-5 record. Their slow start motivated players to play better and they beat the Buffalo Bills. A good win over the rival!
