Report: Bill Belichick will take over as HC/GM for a different NFL team next year, location already known (1 Viewer)

This actually does sound very very plausible.

Well BB apparently signed a very lucrative extension this past offseason. No one knows the terms or for how long. So how does that factor in with this rumor? Plus, with a destination already determined, is this tampering of sort?

I’d question that too. Besides, pretty sure he’s earned an off year, even if it was on the back of Brady.

 

[Lendro Furioso]

I think I’d love to see him go to Washington, reshape that franchise into something respectable. Not sure he’d be much better than the current staff, but it’s be a nice arc for him.

I used to hate Belichick, but I’ve softened up on him over the years. He really loves football and it comes off as quite genuine. The revisionist history going on about “Brady was the one that blablabla…” is BS.

Maybe there is some back channel, “permission to seek a trade” type stuff that’s happened behind the scenes?

That's a very dangerous claim to have insider information on....sometimes I wish folks keep sheet to themselves

Dan Orlovsky? Nah. I'll wait for a more credible source.

Kraft is great friends with the day Walker Roger Goodell, so nothing would happen with that anyway. Just found details of the contract:

Report: Bill Belichick's new contract covers only 2023 and 2024

Three weeks ago, a report on NFL Media created the vague impression that Bill Belichick has a sufficiently "lucrative" contract that makes firing him impractical.

Yup, he’s most likely going somewhere else.

I'm betting it's the Giants.

BB played center at a junior college. He might be a fit.

 

[slikk]

Imagine if he comes here to do press conference....Ask Bill a question .... Bill answer "uuugggggggg".

On to Cincinnati

If true, it will likely be a contending team so that Belichick can win games and surpass Shula's win total. The most likely:
1. Chargers.
2. Dallas.


The longshots:
3. Washington--may be willing to pay anything to restore credibility and Belichick grew up in Maryland.
4. Chicago--because of the draft picks and history of franchise.

I think there is almost no chance he would coach for an owner like Jerrah.....actually Washington makes the most sense....but who knows?

 

[SWJJ]

I'm betting it's the Giants.

That's intriguing and a good call. It makes me think of this article from 2019 that talked about how much BB LOVES the Giants Organization and the relationship he has with the owners.

And then Boomer was predicting BB to the Giants 3 weeks ago.

It fits and makes sense from a timing standpoint.

 

[Mrjack535]

While I might understand a team hiring him as HC I don't understand why they would also give him GM responsibilities. He's been pretty terrible at talent evaluation.

 

[SweetT]

I'm betting it's the Giants.

The Giants would be a challenge for him. Despite them probably getting one of the 2 highest rated QBs, that team is so dang void of talent on offense. Plus, Saquon is no guarantee to re-sign if someone else pays him
