With so many Patriots players leaving this offseason, Duron Harmon became part of the blur.
But the now-Lions safety said coach Bill Belichick was up front with him about the reasons why — the need to bring in reinforcements.
Via NBCSportsBoston.com, Harmon said on Devin and Jason McCourty’s “Double Coverage” podcast that Belichick explained it was just about finances.
“[Belichick] told me, ‘Look, it’s just at the point where we have to make some moves and we just paid Dev; it’s just going to be really tough to really do anything, or get anything done in free agency if we don’t do this,'” Harmon said.
