NFL contracts, for many years, have had a “good moral character”, and “reflect poorly on the organization” type clause in their contracts.
The Patriots should be able to kick this guy to the curb, without paying him a dime.

Haha! Now THAT is funny! If that were the case, Belichick, himself, should have been gone 10 or 12 years ago :-)
