Bill Belichick cited Rob Ninkovich while discussing how players’ ‘stories aren’t over’ after NFL roster cuts

Bill Belichick acknowledged that the annual day when NFL rosters have to be trimmed down to 53 players is “difficult for everyone,” though he offered a reminder that it doesn’t always spell the end of players’ careers.

“I would, like I always do, caution about thinking things are over when they’re not necessarily over on a lot of levels,” said Belichick during a Tuesday press conference. “It may not be over here, they may not be over somewhere else. Players have certainly left here and gone on and had careers, and players have been released by other teams and come here.
