Some news and notes on this Tuesday:
1) It’s interesting that there has been some talk recently about Matt Patricia potentially becoming the heir apparent to Bill Belichick, which Ben Volin of the Boston Globe talked about during an appearance on WEEI this weekend.
Volin believes this to be the case because of how deeply Patricia appears to be involved in the football operations. The Boston Globe reporter pointed out that he’s been able to get a look at the contracts for several of the free agents New England has added this offseason, and Patricia’s signature has been on each one.
