Bill Belichick

North Carolina officially hired Bill Belichick as their next head coach on Wednesday.
One report said Belichick has agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with North Carolina.

Raiders owner Mark Davis was asked about the status of HC Antonio Pierce and said he's not in a position to evaluate the future until the offseason arrives.
Davis added that he would love for minority owner Tom Brady to have a huge say in the direction of the franchise moving forward, including on the next quarterback.

NFLTR’s Logan Ulrich takes an in-depth look at the Saints’ 2025 salary cap situation in which they’re currently projected to be $70 million over the cap at the end of the season.
