Even tough he had already announced his retirement earlier this offseason, long-time New England Patriots research director Ernie Adams still stayed around the organization throughout all of spring. However, he will officially ride off into the proverbial sunset very soon.
As head coach Bill Belichick revealed during a media conference call on Wednesday, the Patriots’ final practice of mandatory minicamp would also be Adams’ last with the organization. The club will hold one more session later that day before heading into its summer break.
Belichick later vacated the virtual podium so that Adams could take some final questions from some of the 54 reporters on the call.
