Pats Belichick plays dodgeball with Tom Brady contract talks

The Patriots are less than two weeks away from their regular-season opener Sept. 12 versus Cincinnati and Tom Brady, who is entering the final year of his contract, has yet to sign an extension. On Tuesday Bill Belichick dodged all questions about Brady’s contract status. When asked about it, he said: “There are a lot of players on our team that are in the last year of their contract. There are a lot of players on every team that are in the last year of their contract. That’s not an unprecedented situation.” When asked if extending Brady’s contract was a priority, Belichick said: “I’m coaching the team. Everybody out there is under contract.” — Providence Journal
