If Bill Belichick “didn’t come here to leave,” why is his buyout so low?
It all adds up to Belichick keeping himself in play for an NFL job. While it’s highly unlikely that he’d leave before he coaches his first game for UNC, the June 1, 2025 date on which the buyout drops by an order of magnitude wasn’t the product of a random calendar generator. At that point, he can walk away for a mere million bucks.
