Last we checked in with the Patriots, the sky was falling and the dynasty was crumbling.

Tom Brady made it clear this offseason that he is miffed at Bill Belichick — for losing the Super Bowl, for the way he reduced Alex Guerrero’s access, and for not appreciating Brady enough.

For the first time since 2010, Brady skipped the entirety of the Patriots’ offseason program, save for three mandatory practices. Questions emerged about whether Brady and Belichick can still co-exist. Brady openly talked about retirement, and his commitment to the Patriots seemed to waver.

But three of Brady’s former teammates shared a different perspective on Monday.

Worry? About Brady and Belichick and the Patriots?

Come on.

“I wouldn’t panic,” former right tackle Sebastian Vollmer said Tuesday at the Battery Wharf Hotel. “As long as Bill and Tom are there — it’s almost unfair to put it on them, but it seems to work. There’s always something. Don’t worry about it. Just let them do their thing and they’ll be OK.”

Vollmer was joined by former Patriots teammates Wes Welker and Rob Ninkovich as they prepared for a charity bartending function at Del Frisco’s in the Seaport. The event, run by Dr. Robert Leonard of Leonard Hair Transplant Associates, benefits a program at Lifespan Cancer Institute in Providence that provides resources for women under 42 years old with breast or gynecological cancer.

All three former Patriots had the same reaction to Brady skipping offseason workouts — it’s no big deal, Brady and Belichick will make it work, and the Patriots will still be the Patriots this fall.

“They made the AFC Championship game how many times in a row? [Seven.] So you’ve got to assume they’ll be right up there,” Vollmer said.

Brady was noticeably absent this spring, the only quarterback in the entire NFL to skip voluntary workouts. Instead, he went to Qatar for a Best Buddies event, Los Angeles for a talk with Jim Gray, and Monaco for an event with TAG Heuer.

He also trained on his own with Guerrero, and spent the offseason training wherever life has taken him — whether that’s working out with Julian Edelman at the TB12 facility, or being chased around by his son in his backyard in Brookline, or working out on vacation in Montana and Costa Rica.

“He’s got those kids, and it’s like, ‘OK, I can go to Costa Rica and train there and still have my family with me and still be on vacation,’” said Welker, now an assistant coach with the Texans. “He just wants to go on vacation and spend time with his kids.”

This was the first time in eight years that Brady skipped voluntary workouts, and he definitely was sending a message that he isn’t happy with everything in Foxborough. But Brady’s former teammates don’t have much of an issue with Brady doing his own thing this spring.

“I don’t think any of that stuff matters,” Ninkovich said. “I take that as he’s been to the Super Bowl two times in a row, has a beautiful family, and the guy doesn’t have to be in the facility to know that he’s going to be working out. I mean, he’s got his son chasing him with his pads on, for heaven’s sake.”

Ninkovich believes the Patriots will still lock up their 10th straight AFC East title this fall.

“As a player I would never say it, because it’s so hard to get where they are every year,” Ninkovich said. “But you can say that they’ll be the best prepared team, ready to roll. I just think that Tom is always going to be an ultimate pro, he’s going to be ready to go, he’s going to have a great year, and the Patriots are going to be the best in the division.”

No one is worried about Brady showing up for training camp in good shape. And coming off an MVP season in 2017, he’s still at or near the top of his game.

But a fair criticism is that Brady didn’t put in the work with his receivers this offseason. That may not be a big deal when he’s throwing to Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, and James White, but he barely put in any time with his new teammates, such as Jordan Matthews, Sony Michel, Braxton Berrios, and Troy Niklas.

Welker said that the work put in during OTAs is important, but said it’s not all on Brady to make sure his new teammates are up to speed.

“That’s why they pay coaches,” Welker said. “Brady can’t tell them to do everything. They’ve got to get those guys coached up. Would you like him to be there? I’m sure that time will come. But for right now, that’s a good time for the coaches to really get their hands on those guys.”

Vollmer said Brady has plenty of time to make up his lost work, between six weeks of training camp, four preseason games, and the first month-plus of the regular season.

“It’s a long time to February. I wouldn’t worry about it,” Vollmer said.

And Vollmer isn’t even worried about Brady being behind in his preparation for the 2018 season. Though the offseason program is nine weeks long, the first two weeks are conditioning-only. Brady really only skipped eight actual football practices.

“And they’re not even real practices,” Vollmer said, because of strict rules banning all pads and contact during the offseason.

The offseason program is good for youngsters and newcomers, but someone with Brady’s experience doesn’t get too much out of it.

“Certainly not worried about him knowing the plays or losing his touch or anything,” Vollmer said. “A coach would probably disagree with me, but if you know the system, I don’t know how much else you really learn in minicamp. There’s no contact, there’s nobody jamming the receiver, the defensive lineman, I can’t hit him so I’ve got to hold him. It’s more frustrating than anything. I think [OTAs] helps you learn the plays, but once you know the plays, I don’t know how much it benefits you, to be honest.”

Ninkovich believes that Brady and Belichick got their squabbles out of their system this spring, and that the relationship will return to normal this fall.

“I’ve been with my wife a long time. At some point we make up, we hug, and that’s it, you move on,” Ninkovich said. “And I think everything gets blown a little bit out of proportion because it is the Patriots. There are a lot of people that don’t want them to do well.”
