Bill Belichick didn’t have much to say Wednesday when asked about the Miami Dolphins getting punished by the NFL on Tuesday for tampering.
When presented with questions from reporters about the situation, he responded: “I’m focused on training camp. That’s all in the past.”
“Yeah, I’m not worried about that. I’m just trying to get training camp in.”
The NFL announced Tuesday that it had stripped the Dolphins of their 2023 first-round pick and 2024 third-round pick, in addition to suspending owner Stephen Ross through Oct. 17 and fining him $1.5 million.
The league found out the team tampered with Tom Brady in 2019 when he was still with the New England Patriots and then again this offseason. The investigation also noted that the team also had “impermissible contact” with former Saints head coach Sean Payton.
It also touched on claims from former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores that the team intentionally tanked for draft position in 2019 – and while it determined they did not “intentionally lose games,” it still found that Ross “expressed his belief that the Dolphins’ position in the upcoming 2020 draft should take priority over the team’s win-loss record.”

At some point, Brady will also be presented with questions about the Dolphins, but you should expect him not to give much information in return.
