NFL Rumors: Cowboys 'Believed to Be in Play' for Bill Belichick After Patriots Exit

The Dallas Cowboys "are believed to be in play" for Bill Belichick, an eight-time Super Bowl champion who just mutually parted ways with the New England Patriots after 24 years coaching the team, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

"Yes, the Cowboys are believed to be in play [for Belichick]," Florio said on NBC's pre-game show Saturday. "There's a long history of respect and admiration between Bill Belichick and Jerry Jones. They have a great team there. Belichick could just go in and coach it to places they haven't been in a very long time."

The Cowboys, of course, still have a head coach in Mike McCarthy.
