Julian Edelman made news last week when he hinted at a possible return to the NFL during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show.
Well, if that’s happening, it’s news to Bill Belichick.
During his appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” Monday morning, the Patriots head coach was asked about Edelman’s remarks, and if he still communicated with his former leading receiver.
“I talk to Julian — I talk to him fairly regularly,” Belichick said. “I don’t know about him talking to Rich Eisen and all that. You’d have to ask Julian about that. I don’t know.”
Belichick didn’t exactly throw cold water on the notion, he just dodged the question.
During the Eisen’ interview, Edelman, now 36, said he missed football, and was asked if the Patriots or Buccaneers came calling, would he consider coming out of retirement?
“I’ll tell you right now, if I had three weeks, three maybe four weeks — start of the season, absolutely not,” Edelman. “But if there’s a team vying for a playoff run, guy goes down. Could I get ready? I probably could… You can never say never.”
Stay tuned.
