FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick said Sunday he’s not commenting on media reports that the New York Jets’ locker room was swept for listening devices before their game at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 25.

Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason said during a national radio broadcast of the Miami Dolphins-Patriots game on Thursday night that he was told the Jets had requested that the NFL sweep the visitors’ locker room.

But on Friday, the NFL said no such request was made. League spokesman Brian McCarthy added on Twitter: “We have for years conducted regular and random checks. We do not get into details of specific games.”

Asked about the reports during a conference call Sunday, Belichick deferred questions to the league, saying, “We don’t have anything to do with any of those things.”

The Boston Globe cited multiple league sources saying that NFL Security did not find anything in the locker room sweep, and did not find anything suspicious with two Patriots employees who were questioned on the sideline during the second half of the game. One of the employees, the Globe said, works full time with the team and was producing in-stadium entertainment; the other employee is a game-day employee who was holding spare batteries and monitoring the communication system between the officials on the field and in the booth upstairs. The Globe said the matter was closed by the league.

According to NFL sources contacted by the Globe, the locker-room sweep and employee questioning were unrelated.

The Boston Herald reported that three Patriots employees were questioned, and that the level of interrogation used was unprecedented, according to a league source.

Asked Friday about the media reports, Jets Coach Todd Bowles told the New York Daily News, “I know nothing about it.”

Jets cornerback Buster Skrine also said he was unaware of any possible locker-room sweep in Foxborough.

“No clue,” Skrine told the Daily News. “I hadn’t heard of that.”

Opponents have been suspicious of the Patriots ever since they were caught illegally videotaping opponents’ coaches in 2007. The suspicions have increased after allegations that New England improperly inflated footballs for the AFC championship game in January.
