Bill Belichick calls report that he eventually wanted to turn the Patriots over to Jimmy Garoppolo ‘fake news’

Share:

A recent ESPN story reported Bill Belichick told friends he wanted to eventually turn the New England Patriots over to Jimmy Garoppolo. The New England Patriots coach did not appreciate the report.

The piece, written by Tom Junod and Seth Wickersham, wondered if Belichick would have traded or sat Tom Brady to make room for Garoppolo. The point obviously became moot when the Patriots traded Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers , which in turn made Brady their man for the foreseeable future.

The story also said there was a “collision coming” between Belichick and Brady’s trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero, over Guerrero’s alleged overreaching in handling Patriots players.

On Tuesday, Belichick was asked about the report during his weekly appearance on WEEI. Hedenounced it as “fake news.”

“As usual, I think a lot of comments that were in the article you’re referring to aren’t attributed to anybody – if I am not mistaken,” Belichick said. “I don’t think anybody said anything. ”
