Bill Belichick's UNC Contract Status Fuels NFL Speculation

Despite operating as North Carolina's head coach, Belichick has not signed a binding contract, raising questions about his long-term commitment.

Bill Belichick has yet to sign a formal contract with North Carolina, working under a term sheet that is not legally binding.
The unsigned contract includes a $10 million buyout clause if Belichick leaves before June 1, 2025, dropping to $1 million after that date.
North Carolina's general manager, Michael Lombardi, strongly denied rumors of Belichick returning to the NFL, emphasizing his current focus on recruiting and team development.
Speculation about Belichick's potential NFL return has been fueled by interest from teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Vegas Raiders, but no formal discussions have been reported.
Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, publicly affirmed his commitment to UNC, sharing social media posts supporting his role with the Tar Heels.
