While he may not have the coziest relationship with Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft nonetheless plans to one day honor the Patriots ' former coach with a statue.

The Patriots' longtime owner recently shared that the plan all along has been for Belichick to receive a statue that will flank the one that was recently created for Tom Brady . Belichick's decision to get back into coaching, however, will apparently delay his own statue unveiling.
