A limited television series about Tom Brady's time with the New England Patriots is in the works, according to a report.

Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, screenwriters for "The Fighter," are working on the script for  "The Patriot Way."

The series would be based on the book "12: Inside the Story of Tom Brady's Fight for Redemption," written by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge.

After spending the first seven seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott will face the team as a member of the New England Patriots on Sunday.

"I mean, I don't have that much time to be too emotional," Elliott said. "I've got to prepare for a game. I've got to go out put my best foot forward. I mean, there are emotions. I may do a good job of kind of hiding them but there will be some emotions."

The Cowboys released Elliott on March 15 in part because of declining production and in part because of a $16.7 million hit against the salary cap.

"I think I have plenty left in the tank," Elliott said. "I still think I'm a very good back."

Sauce Gardner says Mac Jones took a cheap shot on him during the New York Jets' 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Gardner said the incident took place after a quarterback sneak by Jones, who was shoved to the ground by Gardner after the alleged hit took place. 

"He's trying to prevent me from having kids in the future," the cornerback said of Jones.

Gardner, who said that that was the first time that has ever happened to him, elaborated on what transpired between him and Jones. 

"He and I got tackled, [and] he reached his hand up to try to like, get me to help him up, and I just like, moved his hand out of the way," Gardner said. "Then he got up, and he just came up to me and was like, 'Good job.' And while he said that, he hit me in my private parts. I didn't react how I really wanted to. That was just the reaction that came after that. I definitely wasn't expecting that. There's a first time for everything, I guess." 

Jones denied any foul play on his part when asked about Gardner's accusation after the game. 

"Definitely a physical play," Jones said. "Lot of guys are in there. That's kind of like the famous quarterback sneak that everyone does. There's all the guys on both teams were in there. It can get pretty physical, and that's something I have to learn from is getting my pads a little bit lower so that I can get it and not get held up."

Garrett Wilson believes it's time for the New York Jets to end their 14-game losing streak to the New England Patriots.

"It's time that things change around here," Wilson said Tuesday during his weekly appearance on ESPN New York's "Bart & Hahn" show.

"I don't like talking about it too much, but this is one of the first steps. Fourteen straight is unacceptable. That's unacceptable. I'm 0-2 against them. That's unacceptable."

The Jets will get a chance to end the streak Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

"I inherited -- I walked into a team that, we haven't beaten the Patriots," Wilson said. "I feel like that's why they brought me here, brought me and Sauce [Gardner] here and the guys here -- to make things like that change. It's time we do what we get paid for."

Wilson wasn't old enough to drive the last time the Jets beat the Patriots. It was Dec. 27, 2015, when he was 15 years old.

The New England Patriots have agreed to a reworked contract with Trent Brown, according to a report.

The agreement adds $2 million worth of incentives to the contract for this season, making his deal worth up to $13 million in total compensation.

Brown signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Patriots before the 2022 season, plus another $4.5 million in available incentives. He will make a $4 million base salary this season.

He still is scheduled to become a free agent in March.

After the Miami Dolphins' 24-17 win at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night, Tyreek Hill called New England Patriots fans "some of the worst fans in the NFL."

Hill, who has a history with fans in New England, was asked how it felt to wave goodbye to the home crowd, and he did not hold back.

"It felt tremendous, man," Hill said. "Those fans are some of the worst fans in the NFL. And I'm going to stand on that; they are real nasty. Some of the things they were saying, I wouldn't say in church. So yeah, it felt great to wave goodbye to the fans, and I'll do it again. Bye."

A man at Gillette Stadium was charged with disorderly conduct in 2018 after throwing beer on Hill following his 70-yard touchdown reception while he was still a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. The man was also banned from future events at the stadium.

The New England Patriots placed Matt Corral on the exempt list on Saturday after he was absent from the team without notice on Friday and Saturday, according to a report.

Reports surfaced that the Patriots planned to release the quarterback, but The Athletic states that New England is still trying determine Corral's future with the team. 

Corral, 23, was a third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers last April.

He was released by the team on Aug. 30 after not attempting a pass during his rookie season. 

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced that he is waiving the standard four-year waiting period for team Hall of Famers and inducting Tom Brady, who was in attendance to be honored at Sunday's season-opening game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kraft said a special ceremony will take place Wednesday, June 12, 2024, inside Gillette Stadium -- the first of its kind for the franchise. The date has notable significance, 6/12, reflecting the number of Super Bowls that Brady won as a Patriot and his jersey number.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick praised quarterback Mac Jones' improvement leading into Sunday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, while leaving open who might serve as his top backup.

"Mac's had a good offseason and has had a really good camp," Belichick said in a video conference Monday morning. "He understands the offense -- how it works, how to get his teammates involved, how to help them be productive. So he's had a really good stretch here; it's been consistent all the way through."
