QB Situation Aside, Belichick Is Acing Challenging Offseason for Patriots

Bill Belichick said Monday that it would be impossible to sum up everything Tom Brady did in 20 years in a single comment.

Likewise, it would be impossible to consider the full scope of how the offseason is progressing for New England without considering the departure of the greatest quarterback of all-time.

But don't let Brady's departure completely mask the fact that the Patriots have been conducting business as usual in the most unusual of times.

Facing a salary cap crunch, New England bid adieu to nearly half of its starting defense as Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy, Danny Shelton and Elandon Roberts left via free agency while Duron Harmon was traded away in March.
