FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- True to form, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn't have much to say Friday about the signing of free-agent receiver Griff Whalen to a one-year deal.
"We haven't seen much of anything from him. We'll see how it goes," Belichick said. "We'll see how he works into our receiver situation. I don't know. We'll see."
Belichick allowed that Whalen has primarily been an "inside receiver", which is mostly where the Patriots had utilized Danny Amendola, whose ankle injury is the reason the Patriots signed Whalen, Whalen's punt return experience was also part of the consideration, but not a driving force, according to Belichick.
