Kyle Van Noy on Dolphins HC Brian Flores: I had no comment because I’m damned either way

After learning he'd be released by the Miami Dolphins, veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy said he was surprised and disappointed by the decision. During his first press conference since rejoining the New England Patriots, Van Noy said he had "no comment" to a question about playing for Flores as a head coach and not an assistant. 

The 30-year-old clarified his recent comments about Flores on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Friday. 

"Honestly, I'm just as shocked as you are about it," Van Noy said of being released. "I truly don't know. And the no comment thing, it's funny. I'm damned either way. I'm damned if I give him praise, I look disingenuous. I'm damned if I say negative things. I look like a salty you-know-what, and I just figured no comment was the best situation for that because now you can run it however you want."
