Bill Belichick admits Patriots depth issues are due to salary cap, injuries

The 2020 Patriots season has certainly been far from ideal, especially when factoring in the success the team’s had over the last two decades.

Entering Week 8, New England sits in third place in its division with a 2-4 record. Amid a three-game losing streak, the Patriots enter November with a losing record for the first time since 2002.

In an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio Saturday, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked by former Patriots defensive coordinator Charlie Weis why the team’s been relying on younger players this season. Belichick was unusually candid in his response.
