As the snow falls over Gillette Stadium for the Patriots' final game of the 2023 season, one main storyline dominates the airwaves.
Will this be Bill Belichick's final game in New England?
There have been numerous reports throughout the season as the team's struggles have become even more apparent. And that has made it clear that no one knows exactly what is going to happen
However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport highlighted a few different possibilities that he has been hearing across the league as the season comes to a close.
The first possibility would be that Belichick remains with the Patriots, entering his meeting with Robert Kraft with a plan. And that could include some changes to the personnel department, bringing in a general manager. Rapoport mentioned former Las Vegas Raiders GM David Zeiglar and former Tennessee Titans general manger Jon Robinson as possibilities because they both have ties to the organization.
Yet, if the two sides do decide to mutually part ways, there are some teams that are rumored to be interested, while others are not.
According to Rapoport, the the Washington Commanders are "not likely to pursue Belichick if they move on from head coach Ron Rivera, and the Chargers and Raiders are considered less likely options."
The Carolina Panthers showed interest in the head coach prior to hiring Frank Reich and now that his time in Carolina has come to an end, they could "inquire again."
There are also some teams that haven't yet made a change at the head coaching position that could show some serious interest in Belichick.
At this point, anything can happen.
