Las Vegas fired Antonio Pierce on Tuesday from its helm after a 4-13 season, with reports stating Brady has already talked to Belichick in recent weeks.

Belichick's buyout with the Tar Heels is set at $10million, with it dropping dramatically to $1million in June. Either way, that amount would be a fraction of what NFL teams are will to pay to acquire the legendary head coach, per NFL Network. Belichick made the shock move to the college ranks for the first time last month and has already ben recruiting to build his first Tar Heels' roster from the transfer portal and high school ranks.
Brady is a minority owner of the Raiders, with controlling owner Mark Davis set to name the legendary quarterback to his committee to find the team's next leader. Multiple teams have made the attempt to lure Bill Belichick away from UNC and back to the NFL.
Tom Brady will have a say in who the next Raiders head coach will be as a minority owner. It is not revealed who the other team that has inquired about Belichick's willingness to make the switch. Six NFL teams currently have head-coaching vacancies in the Raiders, Jaguars, Saints, Bears, Patriots, and Jets.
The Cowboys could soon have an opening as well as Mike McCarthy's contract expires next week and other teams have sought to interview him to take the helm. Belichick was the Patriots head coach for 24 years and was fired last January, with Jerod Mayo being named as his successor. Mayo was canned on Sunday.
