According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, there’s “chatter in some league circles” that the Commanders could make a run at Belichick this upcoming offseason. While Florio cautions that this “isn’t a report that it will happen,” he said it’s a possibility that’s currently being thrown around the league.

While this might seem like a random pairing, Florio explains that the Belichick/Commanders connection is rooted in some logic. The Commanders signaled at the trade deadline that they’re looking to restart under new owner Josh Harris, and that could eventually lead to him cleaning house among coaches and executives. Who better to lead the next era of Washington football than one of the greatest coaches of all time?

For the Patriots, they’d be able to avoid a firing or “mutual parting,” with both of these routes likely resulting in them owing Belichick some money. Plus, assuming Belichick is still under contract for the 2024 campaign, the Commanders would be required to compensate the Patriots. For a team that’s lacking in future pieces and would be eyeing their own significant reset, extra draft assets would surely come in handy.

I have heard this the past couple of days from Florio on youtube....is Belicheat even that good of a coach? Without Brady he is sub .500 and pretty much every guy from his coaching tree has been an abject failure.

I’m struggling to understand this one from Washington’s side. Bill is 71, the Patriots have struggled post-Brady, and do we bring up how he thought it would work trying to make non-offensive coordinators OCs? This is the guy you want leading your new era of football?

Totally agree
