Tom Brady’s roast was supposed to be a night of laughs and lighthearted jabs. However, according to former teammate Julian Edelman, the presence of both Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft might have created an unexpectedly tense atmosphere. A recent interview with Edelman sheds light on a potentially awkward encounter between the two, adding fuel to the fire of speculation surrounding their relationship.
The drama unfolded thanks to a tweet by @LosTalksPats, revealing Edelman’s side of the story: “Julian Edelman says the tension in the room with Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft present at Tom Brady’s roast “could cut f***ing glass” and that he tried warning Bill. ‘The tension in that room though — could cut f***ing glass… I was watching Coach and I tried to give Coach a heads up. I see Kraft walk in, I’t like ‘Yo, coach OOO!’ Like some locker room s***. Like, ‘5-O, 5-O’… Of course he didn’t f***ing see it. And (Kraft) came in and I was just like ‘Oh s*** this could be fireworks.’ I just walked away.’”

Edelman’s description paints a picture of a potentially uncomfortable reunion between the Patriots’ owner and head coach. This dynamic has been the subject of much speculation since Tom Brady’s departure.
A Reunion of Discomfort? The Bill Belichick-Kraft Relationship Under Scrutiny
The relationship between Bill Belichick, the notoriously stoic head coach, and Robert Kraft, the flamboyant and passionate owner, has always been a topic of intrigue. While they achieved immense success together, whispers of disagreements regarding personnel decisions and coaching philosophies have lingered. Tom Brady’s decision to leave the Patriots for Tampa Bay only fueled speculation of a rift between the two.
Edelman’s attempt to warn Belichick about Kraft’s arrival, using “5-O, 5-O” (a potential reference to police code for a tense situation), is a humorous anecdote that sheds light on the dynamic within the Patriots’ locker room. His lighthearted approach injects some humor into the situation, but also underscores the awkwardness of the reunion.
