How Bill Belichick reacted to Julian Edelman landing NFL analyst job

Julian Edelman wouldn't dare criticize Bill Belichick, would he?

Considering that's now in Edelman's job description, he might. In fact, the New England Patriots head coach apparently gave Edelman permission to do so.

After retiring from the NFL in April, Edelman joined the "Inside The NFL" crew on Paramount+ this season to launch his second career as a TV analyst.

Considering Belichick's (mostly) frosty relationship with the media, Edelman was a little nervous about telling his former boss he was joining the dark side. During a recent appearance on Barstool Sports' "Pardon My Take" podcast, the former Patriots wide receiver explained how he finally broke the news to Belichick.
