Bill Belichick says ‘we have our team now,’ not playing catch-up like last year

Posted Mar 24, 2026
"Obviously, there’s a lot of changes from last year, but I’d say the big difference between this year and last year, for me is just that we have our team now," Bill Belichick said Tuesday at the Kenan Football Center. "I would say 95% of our team is in place, and we’ll have a full year of working with them. That’s way different than what we had last year." (Tar Heel Tribune)
