The New England Patriots were hit with a significant loss through the first month of the season with veteran wide receiver Julian Edelman being suspended for the first four games for violating performance-enhancing drug policy. This major news had been broken by a Reddit user the evening before the news became official.
In the days that have followed, the Reddit user, Redditlover1981, has stated that they will be dropping some more big news regarding the Patriots on Friday night (h/t Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk).
“I’ve actually been sitting on some bigger patriots news for the past few days, still trying to verify that it’s 100% true before putting it out there,” said Redditlover1981. “Regardless I plan to post it here tomorrow evening.”
The news is said to revolve around more negatives that could have a big impact on the team ahead of the 2018 season that will involve a longtime player facing a possible suspension or considering retirement. There is certainly more to come that will make matters worse in New England with it involving one of their long-term pieces to the puzzle.
There is no guarantee of whether this person's report will once again prove to be accurate, but given their previous leaking of news makes what they say something to watch for on Friday night. It will just be a matter of it being confirmed by a legitimate source after they put it there out publicly.
Regardless of whether this potential news proves to be true, the Patriots are already in a compromising position with one of their receiving options out of the mix for the first month of the season. It puts the franchise in an unnecessary position of having to deal with the situation of one of their core players violating a league policy ahead of the upcoming season.
