On some level, Bill Belichick has always had at least some involvement on offense for the New England Patriots.
That involvement could be reaching unprecedented levels in 2022, however, according to a report from ESPN on Sunday.
Jeremy Fowler reported that there's an "open belief" across the NFL that Belichick could call plays for the Patriots this season following the departure of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to the Las Vegas Raiders.
"The intrigue deepens on the New England Patriots' approach to offense without a true play caller," Fowler wrote.
