Per two sources mentioned in the report, a close Kraft friend and a Belichick confidant, the Patriots’ owner offered Falcons owner Arthur Blank an assessment of his former head coach.
The sources have confirmed, Kraft “never have a warm conversation with” Belichick. A “family first” team culture was important to Blank, Kraft’s comments were pointed and personal.
