The NFL is a unique work place. There are no secrets anymore. Technology has taken over, and secrets are exposed. People are going to know what you're all about. You have to make sure you have real honesty in the work place, or you're going to be exposed.

There are certain teams in the NFL that have a certain aura about them, and there's a certain respect level about them.

If you can have a really good coaching staff, and you can have a really good young quarterback and do a really good job in player personnel and string together multiple successful drafts, your window is not small in the NFL because of the quarterback.

Knowledge is power.

Well, I've learned a lot from Bill Belichick. I've said time and time again, before I got to New England, I thought I knew a lot about football. But I think he taught me a lot from A to Z. I still carry it to this day.

There is no primer for being an NFL owner. It is learn-as-you-go.

When you play quarterback, you have to process information quickly, get the ball out of your hand to the right guy.

There is no formula to making it to the NFL other than good fortune and and playing well in college.

But when you get into a situation where you can acquire a proven leader, a proven quality player, an unselfish player, a guy who taken a team to the Super Bowl, I think you do it.

You make smart, educated decisions that are best for your football team.
