The Patriots are set to play Aaron Rodgers twice this season now that the four-time NFL MVP performs all through the AFC on the New York Jets. But it surely doesn’t sound like Rodgers ever acquired right here close to collaborating in 17 video video games with the Patriots this season.
FS1’s Craig Carton reported earlier this offseason that the Patriots pursued Rodgers sooner than the Jets made a deal with the Inexperienced Bay Packers for the 10-time Professional Bowl selection. Belichick didn’t seem acutely aware of the report when requested about it by WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Present” on Monday morning.
“Yeah, I’m not likely positive what you’re referring to,” Belichick talked about.
“I personally couldn’t converse to that,” he continued. “Pay attention, there’s a number of conversations within the offseason between our personnel individuals and different executives. I don’t know what he’s actually speaking about. I personally didn’t speak to the Packers about Aaron Rodgers, no.”
Belichick made constructive that he wasn’t being dismissive of his new divisional rival.
“Aaron Rodgers is a superb participant,” Belichick talked about. “However that’s not likely something we have been — I used to be conscious of.”
The Packers traded Rodgers plus first- and fifth-round draft picks to the Jets for 2023 first-, second- and sixth-round picks plus a 2024 conditional second-rounder. The Patriots are set to begin out 2021 first-round determine Mac Jones at quarterback this season.
