New England Patriots made a surprising decision about Bill Belichick

The New England Patriots got a massive 29-25 win at home against the Buffalo Bills in Week 7. After all the rumors about the future of Bill Belichick as head coach, it was a massive statement as the legend got his 300th regular season win.

Just hours before the game, Ian Rapoport surprised the entire NFL with a surprising report about the Patriots. According to the information, Belichick signed a massive contract extension before the start of a new campaign.

“His contract is one of the most closely held secrets in New England. That said, I think it’s fair to say there was some, at least, uncertainty or intrigue surrounding him. Now, contractually, he is locked up long-term.”

So, when everyone thought Bill Belichick was near the exit door, the situation might have changed in less than 24 hours. Not only the Patriots got an upset victory facing the Bills, but now it’s public the legendary coach could be in town for a while.
