Jon Gruden is about to get $100 million to coach the Oakland Raiders and keep coaching them when they move to Las Vegas in a couple of years. And maybe you have to look at a crazy number like that, in light of the reports about current palace intrigue in Foxborough, Mass., with the Patriots and wonder what Bill Belichick would be worth on the open market, where Belichick sure isn’t for now but, who knows, maybe not forever.
You can also understand why there was the immediate suggestion — or pipe dream — around here that the Giants should be in play for Belichick.
