FOXBORO — We found out Wednesday afternoon through Patriots quarterback Mac Jones that his relationship with head coach Bill Belichick is “good.” Belichick confirmed that in his own way Thursday morning.

“Yeah, again, I’m good with all of the players who are on the team,” Belichick said before Day 2 of training camp. “Absolutely.”

Jones said that he and Belichick agreed to a fresh start this season after a disappointing 2022 campaign for the young quarterback. That’s one piece of information the longtime head coach will not confirm Thursday.

“Yeah, I’ll keep all of my conversations with the players private for the sake of the players,” Belichick said.

Jones had one of the most efficient seasons for a rookie quarterback in NFL history in 2021 before declining in 2022 under the offensive leadership of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge, who replaced departing offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Patricia is now a defensive assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles and Judge is the Patriots’ assistant head coach with a focus on special teams. The Patriots brought back Bill O’Brien as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and the hope is Jones will have a resurgence under new coaching.

Jones said “trust” is a big word with the Patriots this offseason. Belichick was asked if he trusts Jones’ leadership.

“I have trust in all of the players we have on our team,” Belichick said. “If I didn’t, they wouldn’t be here.”

Jones seems energized this summer with O’Brien as his top offensive assistant.
