“#Patriots ‘sold out’ and now we are doomed<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Bill Belichick opened up about the Patriots struggles on Monday. Yes, really. 2020 is one bizarre year.<\/p>\n

The usually reserved New England coach went on WEEI radio in Boston and broke down part of his team\u2019s problems, which he said partly have to do with relying on youth and a lack of depth.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, we paid [quarterback] Cam Newton $1 million. I mean it\u2019s obvious we didn\u2019t have any money. It\u2019s nobody\u2019s fault,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s what we did the last five years. We sold out and won three Super Bowls, played in a fourth and played in a AFC Championship game<\/a>. This year we had less to work with. It\u2019s not an excuse, it\u2019s just a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old Belichick hinted that it was inevitable the Patriots, who rank 30th in total salary cap according to Spotrac<\/a>, would eventually take a step back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe structure of the league is the structure of the league. That isn\u2019t going to change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Belichick declined to comment on whether recent poor drafts also contributed to the Patriots\u2019 problems. New England is 2-5, having lost four straight games for the first time since 2000 and is a long shot to reach the playoffs. The last time they didn\u2019t reach the postseason was 2008.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
