Bill Belichick's UNC buyout is a perfect escape hatch to the NFL

Bill Belichick said he "didn't come here to leave" while being introduced at North Carolina, but his contract sure gives him the ability do so.

A few hours after the legendary New England Patriots coach was introduced as the next head coach of the Tar Heels, details of his contract began to leak out, and there is one which could be very interesting to NFL owners.

Via The Athletic's Chris Vannini, Belichick's contract has a $10 million buyout until June 1, 2025, when it reduces to $1 million, a number basically any NFL team would be willing to pay if it wants to hire him.
