ESPN believes there will be a Patriots reunion this NFL offseason.
And no, we’re not talking about the Foxboro fantasy of Tom Brady coming back to New England and rejoining forces with Bill Belichick.
Several reports coming out of New England following the Patriots’ season-ending loss in Buffalo suggest big changes are coming to the organization. The biggest might be a replacement for Matt Patricia, as Belichick and company are conducting interviews to fill the offensive coordinator void Josh McDaniels left behind when he bolted for Las Vegas.
There is a handful of candidates who make sense for the gig, but Football Outsiders’ Aaron Schultz believes it will ultimately go to old friend Bill O’Brien.
