Bill Belichick may have agreed to become the next head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, but interest in him from other NFL teams is reportedly still alive and well.
One team worth mentioning is the Las Vegas Raiders, NFL Network reported Wednesday.

Tom Brady, a new minority owner of the Raiders, “recently” spoke with Belichick about what it would take for his former coach to abruptly leave Chapel Hill for the desert, according to the report. The report noted that Belichick has a $10 million buyout option in his contract if he leaves before June 1, 2025.
NFL Network noted that the Jacksonville Jaguars could also be an “intriguing” option.

Brady and Belichick have a long history of winning together. The two led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles from 2000 to 2019. They had a stranglehold on the NFL during two distinct dynastic eras. Brady parted ways with the Patriots before the 2020 season and won another title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Belichick was with New England through the 2023 season before he and the Patriots mutually agreed to part ways. He interviewed for the Atlanta Falcons job but didn’t get it. He then became an analyst for one season before, surprisingly, accepting the job at North Carolina.

He has a 302-165 record as a head coach between the Patriots and the Cleveland Browns.
