Report: Peyton Manning, Omaha Productions 'pursuing' Bill Belichick for on-camera role

Peyton Manning wasn't just savvy on the field – he's continuing to show that to be the case post-retirement, too.
According to the Athletic, Manning and his entertainment company, Omaha Productions, are pursuing former Patriots coach Bill Belichick to join their roster of talent as part of their NFL content plan for the 2024 season. According to the Athletic, one of the plans under consideration is to pair Belichick and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban in a "Manningcast" style broadcast.
Belichick, 71, split from the Patriots in January after 24 seasons and sat in for two head coach interviews with the Atlanta Falcons, before the franchise eventually went in another direction and hired Raheem Morris. That left Belichick without a job in the NFL for the first time since the 1974 season.
The Athletic reported that Belichick has yet to meet with ESPN, the network with which Omaha Productions collaborates, but that Belichick has already met with CBS and NBC, both of which are NFL rights holders, and both of which are looking to add new analysts to their team. The Athletic also reported that, in any potential broadcasts, Belichick is looking to only talk about football topics that interest him.
Belichick has had some on-camera experience, having worked with NFL Films on the league's production of the "NFL 100 All-Time Team" broadcasts.

Belichick and Manning have a long history of facing off on the football field, as Manning was a mainstay in the AFC with the Colts and then Broncos and Belichick led the most prolific contemporary dynasty in the Patriots.
In 2021, the Boston Globe interviewed Belichick, who at the time called Manning "definitely the best quarterback I've coached against."
Including postseason games, Belichick got the better of the matchup, going 12-8 in games when Manning was starting.
