🏆 Bills poised as the premier perch: Among the four openings, Buffalo is the only team that made the playoffs last year. With MVP-caliber Josh Allen leading the charge and a true franchise QB in place, the Bills’ job stands out as the most attractive, even as other teams overhaul their QB rooms.
💭 Belichick chatter remains loud but perplexing: The legendary coach is available with a slim $1 million buyout, yet no teams have lined him up for an interview. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio even floated the idea that Buffalo could rethink bringing Belichick on board, challenging the idea that only traditional coaching paths matter.
💬 Bills’ stance and the McDermott angle: Publicly, Buffalo isn’t embracing Belichick, and there’s chatter that Sean McDermott’s shortcomings in guiding Allen toward a Super Bowl contributed to his exit. Despite a fan petition urging a McDermott rehire (over 75,000 signatures), it doesn’t look likely. That keeps Belichick in the conversation as the “big-name” option, even if Buffalo reportedly isn’t sold.
⚡ Bottom line: Buffalo sits as the top coaching target left, with Belichick lingering as a potential wild card, while the rest of the market continues to churn. It’s a window for Bills Mafia to hope a splash hire can finally push Buffalo to that Lombardi Trophy. 🏈📊🔥
