BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, there will be a meeting this week between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to work out some of the issues that have come up this year.
Topics include Alex Guerrero's status with the team, a new contract and more.
"It is expected to be this week, although of course let's say there is a parade maybe on Tuesday, they might have to back things up a little bit," Rapoport said Sunday on NFL Gameday Morning. "There still are issues from my understanding to work out in New England.
"First of all, from everyone that I have spoken to, and I have talked to several sources involved in the situation, the belief is Bill Belichick will be back, Tom Brady will be back and of course Robert Kraft will be as well. But things to work out include what to do about Alex Guerrero, Tom Brady's trainer, how to get over some of the angst involving the trade of Jimmy Garoppolo — who is now about to sign a long-term deal with the 49ers -- and then does Tom Brady get a contract extension? He has two more years left. They think he's going to play two more years. Do they let him play it out, or do they try to get him to cash in one more time?
"All of those things they hope will be sorted out this week."
