coach Bill Belichick was explaining the team's mindset in selecting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the second round of the NFL draft. It was a pick that dominated media-based discussion in New England, in part because it was the earliest the club had selected a quarterback in Belichick's 16-year tenure (62nd overall).
Then Belichick added this about Tom Brady: "We know what Tom's age and contract situation is. I don't think you want to have one quarterback on your team. I don't think that's responsible to the entire team or the organization."
At the time, Brady was 36 and his contract was set to expire at the end of the 2017 season.
