While speaking on the 98.5 The Sports Hubbefore New England's 33-8 victory over the Raiders in Mexico City on Sunday, Patriotspresident Jonathan Kraft was asked for his first public comments on the trade of the 26-year-old quarterback to San Francisco. Particularly, Kraft was asked how involved he and his father, Robert Kraft, are in the pre-trade process in a deal of the magnitude.
"Before there is ever going to be something of that type of significance (Bill Belichick and Nick Caserio) definitely let us know what's going on," Kraft said. "We're aware of it and they do what they feel is in the best interest of the football team. They felt that trading Jimmy right there before the trade deadline was the right thing to do factoring everything in for our team and we agreed."
