This comes after owner Robert Kraft spoke out on Belichick's potential departure and after quarterback Tom Brady spoke about the reported rift. It looks like all is fine in New England now and it couldn't have come a moment too soon as the team will have to prepare for the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. They'll be doing so without any more distractions it seems.
