Asante Samuel Shades Bill Belichick After Mac Jones Trade Report

Asante Samuel continues to beat his Bill Belichick drum.

Samuel, who played the first five seasons of his 11-year NFL career with the Patriots, never misses an opportunity to rip into the longtime New England head coach. So when Belichick started to dominate headlines Tuesday, it was only a matter of time before Samuel took aim at the future Hall of Famer.

According to ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, Belichick made quarterback Mac Jones available for trade this NFL offseason. The report was “mind-blowing” to former NFL QB Robert Griffin III, who couldn’t believe Belichick and company reportedly shopped Jones after hanging him out to dry with an ineffective offensive coaching staff in 2022.
