Aaron Hernandez was worried about the safety of his fiancee and daughter when he came to Bill Belichick in February 2013 seeking a trade, the New England Patriots coach told authorities, according to documents obtained by The Boston Globe.
Belichick told Massachusetts State Police and a North Attleborough police captain that Hernandez expressed concern that "people might potentially harm" Shayanna Jenkins and their daughter.
In the meeting at the 2013 NFL scouting combine, Hernandez asked Belichick to have the Patriots trade him to a West Coast team or release him.
Hernandez said he "was not concerned about his own safety because he had money," according to Belichick.
