The Bill Belichick era might be over for the New England Patriots, but that doesn’t mean everyone in the family has to go.
According to a report by Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated (via ProFootbalTalk), his two sons are still welcome at Gillette Stadium.
Steve and Brian Belichick have been offered an opportunity to return to the team for the upcoming campaign under first-year coach Jerod Mayo.
“Belichick’s sons, defensive play-caller and linebackers coach Steve, and safeties coach Brian, have both already been offered the opportunity to return to the team for 2024. Mayo and the elder son (Steve) have grown close as they’ve collaborated to run the Patriots’ defense the past five years,” Breer said.

According to the report, they’re both quite close to Mayo, which is far from a surprise, given the former linebacker’s history with the organization and relationship with the legendary coach.
Apparently, Mayo and Steve got pretty close lately and worked together to run the team’s offense throughout the years.
The Patriots were reportedly craving a change of scenery and direction, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to just clean house and get rid of everything that reeked of Bill Belichick.
As for their father, Belichick has already been tied to multiple teams since parting ways with the Patriots, so it’s unclear whether his two sons will follow his steps and join him wherever he lands or if they’ll stay put in Foxboro.
It shouldn’t take long before we find out more about one of the most renowned families in the league and their career choices.
