Report: Peyton Manning trying to sign Belichick to Omaha Productions

Peyton Manning is reportedly looking to get into business with Bill Belichick.

Manning has been pursuing the former New England Patriots head coach in an effort to get him to sign with Manning's entertainment company, Omaha Productions, according to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand.

Should Belichick join Omaha Productions, Marchand reports that one possible role for the 72-year-old could involve pairing him with former Alabama head coach Nick Saban on an alternate broadcast-style show for ESPN similar to Manning's "Manningcast." Saban was hired as an analyst for ESPN's "College GameDay" earlier this year following his retirement from Alabama.

Belichick has yet to discuss a role with ESPN but has met with CBS and NBC executives, sources told Marchand. He's reportedly made it known to networks that he's not interested in appearing on a weekly Sunday studio show.

While Belichick hasn't discussed his future plans publicly, his son, former Patriots assistant coach Steve Belichick, revealed on a recent episode of the "Green Light" podcast that his father has been eyeing a possible job in television.

Belichick parted ways with the Patriots in January after a 24-year run that saw him lead the franchise to six Super Bowl championships.
