Bill Belichick’s decision to release Cam Newton didn’t faze Julian Edelman

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s decision to let go of veteran quarterback Cam Newton was a shock for most people in the world of football, except for former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.

Edelman, who was with the Patriots for 12 seasons, recalled some of Belichick’s decisions in previous seasons in a conference call Wednesday for Showtime’s “Inside the NFL,” and said that he was not particularly surprised with the decision that Belichick made.

“Nothing surprises me with Bill. Just look at the history,” Edelman said.
