Two NFL Teams Show Exploratory Interest in Bill Belichick, Reports Say

Belichick says he remains committed to UNC, where a $1 million buyout could make an NFL return feasible.

Overview

  • NFL insider Josina Anderson reported that two teams have recently expressed interest in speaking with Belichick on an exploratory basis.
  • My understanding is there are upper-level supporters for Belichick in Atlanta, New York and Cleveland, though no specific suitors were identified in the report.
  • Only the Giants and Titans currently have head-coaching vacancies, while other franchises are evaluating leadership changes, including potential GM moves noted by Anderson.
  • Belichick’s first UNC season ended 4–8, and he has begun reshaping his staff after firing OC Freddie Kitchens, with Chip Kelly and Bobby Petrino reported as focal targets for the role.
  • Cleveland’s 3–11 slide has fueled outside speculation about Kevin Stefanski’s future, though local voices have questioned a Belichick fit and no Browns decisions have been announced.
