Bill Belichick has left the building.

And like Elvis, he’s still taking care of business.

This season, we’ll hear and see more Belichick than ever before.

Instead of the grunts, groans, eyerolls, and Belichickisms dispensed during his 24 years as head coach of the Patriots, we’re going to get honest-to-goodness football talk.

Allegedly.

The sort of football talk Belichick denied the fans of New England for the past-quarter century.

Here’s a quick rundown:

Belichick will co-host the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray on Sirius XM. He’s taking the seat previously occupied by Tom Brady. And he got the job thanks to a recommendation from The GOAT himself.

The Hoodie already speaks each week on the “The Pat McAfee Show.”

BB will join the regulars on the CW’s weekly “Inside the NFL” rundown.

He’s been penciled in for a regular appearance on ESPN Monday Night Football’s “Manningcast.”

And “Coach, with Bill Belichick” will be a regular staple brought to us by Underdog Fantasy.

Personally, I don’t want to hear anything from Belichick until he gives an honest, forthright, and on-the-record explanation as to why Malcolm Butler only played one snap during Super Bowl 52.

Or his explanation as to why he chose Sony Michel instead of Lamar Jackson?

What about the mindset behind drafting N’Keal Harry?

What’s the inside scoop as to why Belichick opted to ruin Mac Jones’ NFL future by hiring Dumb and Dumber to run the offense in Jones’ sophomore season?

Did Belichick want to draft Mac? If not, why did he seem so happy after Mac’s rookie season? And, worse of all, if he didn’t want Mac in the first place, did he purposely sabotage Mac’s final season in New England by letting him play when he had no business being on the field?

Was that “What’s Best For The Team?”

Inquiring minds want to know.

He’s likely holding the good stuff for an upcoming “Tell-All” biography.

Hard pass.

All that only after he allegedly “tells all” each week on your favorite platform.

NFL State Run Media is there for all of it. In one of the most public dysfunctional relationships this side of Ben Affleck and J-Lo, the same folks who were the butt of Belichick’s barbs can’t wait to get enough of him firing them back at his former team, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or his would-be suitors this offseason.

Belichick’s remarks this week about all three were particularly interesting.

And it’s only the start.

Belichick will be subtly and not-so subtly skewering anyone and everyone whom he believes crossed him during the past half-century.

No one knows more about pro football than Belichick. And a sober case can be made that he is the greatest NFL coach of all time.

That’s the tease making him a must-listen before, during, and after each week’s games.

But Belichick brings a hidden agenda with him wherever he goes, and this time, whenever he speaks.

Revenge is best served not cold, but through a hot mic.

Each week, across all of his platforms, it’s payback time.

This week’s appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” was a masterclass.

In a game of passive-aggressiveness that would leave Brady in awe, Belichick played to the masses by blaming the commonwealth’s onerous tax system for the Patriots’ inability to sign marquee players. He took a prescient slap at Jerod Mayo’s assessment of Drake Maye. And plucked the Falcons’ feathers. The same Falcons who were going to hire him before they didn’t.

The issue of teams in the Bay State competing for athletes against teams from no-tax, or no-tax states isn’t new.

It was Belichick’s job to lure them here for a quarter-century.

He wants you to believe his recent misses were due to punitive tax rates levied by the Bay State, and not the departure of Brady. Or Robert Kraft’s unwillingness to spend excessively on players when he was paying his coach $20+ million per year.

“That’s Taxachusetts,” Belichick said. “Just another thing you’ve got to contend with in negotiations up there. It’s not like Tennessee or Florida or Nevada. Some of these teams have no state income tax. You get hit pretty hard on that with the agents.”

The average NFL salary is $2.7 million. Any player making that amount of money pays $202,604 more in taxes in Massachusetts than they would in a state with no income tax, like Florida or New Hampshire. Those numbers come from SmartAsset.com. That’s $202,604 sent to Beacon Hill that would otherwise remain in said player’s pocket.

That’s real money. Doubt me? Ask Robert or Jonathan Kraft for $202,604 and see what they say.

Athletes from no-state-income-tax states do pay Massachusetts state income tax for games played at Gillette. But players from places like Florida or Tennessee who play once a year in Foxboro won’t make enough in that one game check to hit the 4% millionaire tax threshold unless they make more than $17 million per season.

And here’s where it gets really interesting. Those who live outside the Bay State but play for the Patriots are considered full-time residents by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue if they have a residence here (i.e. an apartment) and work in the Commonwealth for more than 183 days per year. If the Patriots ever win another postseason game and play deep into January, it could be costly come tax time given the lengthy NFL calendar.

Major headaches easily avoided by signing a deal with the Jaguars, Dolphins, Titans or Raiders

Meanwhile, the real headache has just begun for those in Belichick’s verbal crosshairs.

For them, it will be a very long and taxing season.

Starting with his most-recent team.
