Peter King Names Cowboys, Bears Among Best Options If Bill Belichick Leaves Patriots

Peter King of NBC Sports believes the Dallas Cowboys "could be in play" if Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots move on from one another in the offseason.

King wrote in his weekly column Dallas might plausibly consider a coaching change and pursue the surefire Hall of Famer "only if they don't win the division, have some sketchy outings down the stretch and go winless in the playoffs."

King also listed off the Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Chargers, though he described Chicago as a "longshot" since the organization appears destined for another reset with a different quarterback than Justin Fields.
