Bill Belichick, recently departed from the Patriots after an illustrious 24-season tenure, is now in talks for a potential reunion with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, as disclosed by DailyMail.com.
Despite being initially considered as the front-runner for the head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons, Belichick was ultimately overlooked in favor of Raheem Morris. Belichick, 71, had undergone two interviews for the Falcons job, including a one-on-one meeting aboard Falcons owner Arthur Blank’s yacht.
With the coaching opportunity in Atlanta no longer on the table, there’s speculation that Belichick might join forces with Brady and Gronkowski once again. During their time together in New England under Belichick’s guidance, the trio secured three Super Bowl victories between 2014 and 2018.

Currently, Gronkowski serves as a regular NFL contributor on Fox, while Brady has signed a substantial 10-year, $375 million deal to work with the network starting next season. The possibility now arises that Belichick could join them in a broadcasting role at Fox, offering analysis and commentary while waiting for another coaching opportunity to arise.
According to a source cited by DailyMail.com, “Fox brass are considering throwing an offer to Bill to become a panelist, and they would love to have him on Fox NFL Sunday, which would have him join Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady.” The report suggests that Fox is contemplating reuniting this trio, presenting Belichick with a broadcasting role if he doesn’t secure a coaching position for the upcoming season.
The prospect of a reunion between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, this time in the realm of broadcasting, is anticipated to be an engaging and must-watch collaboration.
