Matthew Slater, Julian Edelman back Bill Belichick amid ‘The Dynasty’ backlash

Count Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater as the latest in a long line of former Patriots players giving two thumbs down to Apple TV+’s “The Dynasty” docuseries.

The 10-part show — detailing the Patriots’ two-decade run that resulted in six Super Bowl titles — cultivated plenty of controversy throughout its month-long run.

Despite the unequaled success that New England achieved during the Brady-Belichick era, “The Dynasty” has elicited some negative responses for an emphasis on the low points and an omission of some of the more cherished highlights of the Patriots’ 20-year reign atop the NFL.

But several sizable digs at Bill Belichick throughout the docuseries have led to the strongest response from several ex-Patriots — including Edelman and Slater.
