The North Carolina Tar Heels and Bill Belichick reportedly landed a top defensive transfer on Wednesday amid rumors of his interest in NFL openings.

Bill Belichick is the head coach at North Carolina. That hasn’t stopped NFL teams from thinking about trying to lure him. Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported Wednesday multiple teams are considering Belichick as a possibility for their head coach openings.

As noted when Belichick first signed with UNC, his contract includes a section detailing what would happen if the coach terminated his contract without cause. If he does so before June 1, 2025, then Belichick (or the NFL team that hires him) owes the university a whopping $10 million. But after June 1, it drops to merely $1 million.
