Brian Flores cites accidental texts from Bill Belichick in legal filing against NFL

Former Dolphins coach Brian Flores cited texts from Patriots coach Bill Belichick in a class action complaint filed against the NFL on Tuesday.

Flores, who was on the Patriots’ staff from 2004-18, included screenshots of texts from Belichick in which Belichick congratulated him on landing the Giants job even though Flores was yet to interview.

“Did you hear something I didn’t hear?” Flores asked.

Belichick wrote he had heard from both the Bills and the Giants that Flores was “their guy.”

“Hope it works out if you want it to!” Belichick texted.
