It seems obvious but he doesn’t seem to care about the football situation he’s in. He cares about money and getting enough targets. The whole reason he wanted out of Pittsburgh was they weren’t willing to give him the guaranteed money he wanted. Oakland did so he went there. I doubt Belichick hands him $30M guaranteed (if NE even has the cap space). Belichick is the “wide receiver whisperer”, though, and turns talented (but head case) receivers into all pros. And New England always seems to sign these guys for way lower than their public demands
