And the New England Patriots and Linebacker Matthew Judon have reportedly moved forward, and have had good talks with the player, after Judon was filmed during an outburst with his head coach Jerod Mayo over contract disputes Judon was having with the Pats front office. Coach Mayo confirmed that the two sides are making progress on the deal, and that he understood Judon’s frustration saying, “I remember as a player, it’s always a difficult time when you go through contract negotiations and things like that, I have a great relationship with Matthew. I have a great relationship with the players. We’re moving forward.” It has not been made clear whether Judon will receive punishment for his outburst earlier this week.
