When the Patriots signed Cam Newton in July, many of us wondered how it would work in New England? The flamboyant Newton and the stoic Bill Belichick wasn’t exactly a match made in heaven.

Hard to present an order of why Tom Brady didn't want to return to Patriots. But one thing has…

The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride tweeted out last night that the Patriots were hiring veteran college and NFL coach Jedd Fisch as an offensive assistant. Fisch has a wealth of college and NFL experience as both a coordinator and as a position coach. He has coached quarterbacks and receivers during his career.
