What was once thought to be impossible now seems more and more likely by the day … 2023 may very well be Bill Belichick’s final season in New England.
Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show,” former quarterback-turned-analyst Dan Orlovsky said that not only is Belichick a goner after this season – but he already knows where his next stop will be.
“I have heard that’s going to be the case. Who knows the likelihood of it, but I’ve heard it’s going to happen, and I’ve heard the location is already kind of determined as well,” Orlovsky stated.

Reacting to Orlovsky’s comments, Colin Cowherd expressed on “The Herd” his belief that the destination in question is the Washington Commanders.
“That leads me to believe it would be Washington,” Cowherd said. “They haven’t determined anything with the Chargers, and he’s an east coast guy.”

However, despite identifying Washington as a potential landing spot for Belichick, Cowherd voiced his reservations about the Commanders pursuing the veteran coach.
“On the surface, Washington has some nice skill players and Bill doesn’t draft those,” Cowherd explained. “What they don’t have is a star quarterback. They have Sam Howell, who deserves another year, but I don’t think he’s a hoist the trophy guy.”
“Between Cleveland and New England, Bill has drafted 12 quarterbacks. He’s hit a home run with one … The good news is, initially, they have what Bill can’t draft…weapons.”
“But if Bill is your GM, he is an abject disaster. That’s being diplomatic,” he added.
Cowherd’s comments come in the wake of earlier speculation by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, who briefly pondered the prospect of a trade between the Commanders and the Patriots centered around Belichick.
What do you think will end up happening with Belichick???
