With the NFL offseason in full swing, the New England Patriots had the new additions to their coaching staff meet with the public for the first time to discuss the state of the team. One common thread in the comments and tone of these press conferences is how the Mac Jones situation was avoided. New Offensive Coordinator Bill O'Brien didn't speak on Jones, and the general feel is the Patriots regime is staying loyal with Belichick.

Greg Bedard weighs in and gives his thoughts on the vibes around New England, and whether or not people come to the Patriots to work with Belichick.
