Belichick curbs privileges of Tom Brady’s associate Alex Guerrero

Belichick allowed many of Brady’s teammates to participate in training regimens not with the Patriots’ highly regarded medical and training staff, but at the TB12 Center just outside of the stadium in Patriot Place. Guerrero treated the players there with his alternative methods, and the TB12 Center billed the Patriots for his services.

Belichick also permitted Guerrero, Brady’s close friend and business partner, to secure his own office near the Patriots locker room, fly on the team charter to road games, and receive credentials to work the sidelines of every game, home and away.

But this season the Patriots coach has reversed course. For reasons he has declined to explain, Belichick weeks ago stripped Guerrero of his special team privileges, restoring a measure of tradition to the team’s medical and training operation, according to several people familiar with the Patriots’ internal operations.

Guerrero is now banned from boarding Patriots jets. His sideline access has been revoked. And he no longer is permitted to treat players other than Brady in his exclusive office at Gillette Stadium.

Guerrero has had strained relations with regulators in the past, but I have heard nothing that has happened recently to warrant this action by Belechick.

Guerrero is not a paid staff member of the New England Patriots. As such, regardless of him being allowed to be part of the medical team up until now, Belichick has every right IMO to ban him since he is not paid staff. Just my .02.
