Bill Belichick‘s future in Foxborough is becoming increasingly in question as the New England Patriots keep losing.
Going into their Week 7 home game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the Patriots are sitting at a dismal 1-5. The Patriots are set to experience not just their third losing season in the last four years, but also their sixth consecutive season without winning a single postseason game.
Many teams would be interested in the 71-year-old Belichick if owner Robert Kraft decides to fire him or if he chooses to leave New England on his own.
The Washington Commanders are the +200 favorites at BetOnline to sign Belichick if he is not with the Patriots in 2024. Next on that list with +300 odds are the Chicago Bears, then the Los Angeles Chargers (+400), and finally the Las Vegas Raiders (+600).
At +700, the Tennessee Titans are the fifth-best bet, followed by the Minnesota Vikings at +900. Interestingly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady’s former team, are ranked second on that list with +900 odds.
If Belichick is available in January, Commanders should snap him up with one condition – owner picks a GM. No more coach-centric.

Over a 17-year period from 2001 to 2018, Belichick and Brady guided the Patriots to nine Super Bowl trips and six Lombardi Trophies. However, all good things come to an end, and when Brady left the Pats in 2020, the dynasty was over.
Bill Belichick is a defensive legend/genius no matter how his career finishes.

Will Belichick eventually follow Brady out the door after another disappointing season in New England, four years later? Time will tell, but with every New England loss that goes down, the likelihood seems to increase.
