Patriots head coach Bill Belichick appears to be pleased with the progress his club has made over the last few days, with Belichick reportedly canceling the final day of minicamp practice.
While he did a similar thing last year by releasing players early, this time around, things seem to be overall heading in a better direction, and the morale appears also to be much better.
This will give both the players and coaches one final month off before the Patriots get back to work when training camp begins at the end of next month.
It’s also worth noting that free agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is in town for a visit both Wednesday and Thursday, with the move to cancel practice also allowing Belichick and the coaching staff additional time to potentially put together a convincing enough experience to get Hopkins to consider joining the club heading into the 2023 season.
