Bill Belichick hates the Jets. Everyone knows that. But does he hate them enough that he would cut the Steelers a sweetheart NFL draft deal in order to screw over Gang Green?
That’s what people inside the league apparently believe.
A quick recap: The Patriots had the No. 14 pick in last week’s draft. The Jets had No. 15 after the pick swap with the Packers in the Aaron Rodgers deal (they originally had No. 13). Everyone knew the Jets wanted to grab an offensive tackle. At that point in the night, Georgia’s Broderick Jones was the only lineman left worthy of a top-15 selection.
