But neither Belichick nor the owner Robert Kraft has stated anything regarding the future. However, many see the writing on the wall for the veteran HC. Kraft is known to be unpredictable and ruthless when it comes to his franchise. Earlier, these brutal decisions were taken with Belichick, but maybe this time it could be for Belichick.

Belichick, on several occasions, has hinted that he doesn’t want to stop just now. So if Kraft and the Patriots end up parting ways with him, he does have a place he can call home now. And the Chargers will bring a lot to the table for Belichick as well.

He is likely to have more control over the personnel decisions. A final say on the roster and the draft, while the Chargers will have his experience and leadership in these matters. But apart from these, there is one more factor that will tilt the balance, Rookie of the Year 2020, Justin Herbert.
