As the New England Patriots limp into Week 9 with a 2-6 record, Bill Belichick's uncertain future has come into focus.
Despite Belichick's reported new contract with the team, it is widely believed Patriots owner Robert Kraft will weigh whether or not to move on from his longtime head coach/general manager this offseason. That could mean a firing, it could mean a trade, or Belichick could simply step down after missing the playoffs for the third time in the last four years.
Regardless of what happens with Belichick, it's clear the Patriots' roster needs an overhaul next spring.
