There's been a lot of news regarding Bill Belichick today. Before the news was announced that he will be Pat McAfee's co-host next week for the 2024 NFL Draft, there was a bombshell reported by ESPN regarding Belichick and Patriots owner, Robert Kraft.

While Belichick had interest from the Atlanta Falcons to become their next head coach, the report stated that Kraft reached out to Falcons owner, Arthur Blank, urging him not to hire the 72-year-old.

Kraft told Blank that Belichick is stubborn, arrogant, and can't be trusted in the building.

The report came as a big surprise to many, as some can't understand why Kraft would throw dirt on Belichick's name after all the success he's had with the team over the last 20 years.
