Via Pro Football Talk:

Questions did circle back to Brady’s departure, however, and Belichick was asked if he had a desire to bring Brady back to New England for a 21st season. Brady said in an interview with Howard Stern last week that he “probably knew” he’d be leaving before the season started.

“Water under the bridge,” Belichick said, via multiple reporters. “We’re really focused on this season and trying to look at our opportunities and make decisions and plan and prepare to be as competitive as we can this year.”

For the moment, the Patriots are moving forward with 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham and veteran Brian Hoyer at quarterback. That group could grow during next week’s draft and Belichick was asked his thoughts about the prospects entering the NFL this year.

“It’s an interesting group and probably one that has decent depth to it,” Belichick said.

Maybe one day Belichick will admit that he didn’t really care if Brady came back to New England or not.  Because let’s be honest, if Belichick wanted Brady in a Patriots uniform, he’d be in a Patriots uniform.
