“You have always been my soul-mate, and I want you to live life and know I’m always with you,” he wrote. “I told you what was coming indirectly! I love you so much and know you are an angel […] Tell my story fully but never think anything besides how much I love you.”

Under Massachusetts state law, Hernandez’s murder conviction is likely to be voided because he failed to exhaust all of his appeals before his death. Therefore, he technically died an innocent man, and the team cannot justify firing him and denying him the $6 million left of his salary. Jenkins-Hernandez is the beneficiary of his estate, so it appears that Hernandez knew she’d most likely be getting that money.
