FOXBORO, Mass. — Did you hear about the improved vibes? What about the ping-pong table in the new players’ lounge?
Yes, it’s been made clear the New England Patriots are entering a new era with executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and head coach Jerod Mayo having replaced longtime head honcho Bill Belichick.
Arguably the most glaring difference, though, has been on display the last few days.
Both Matthew Judon and Davon Godchaux, who expressed discontent regarding their respective contracts this offseason, have spoke about their situations publicly. And Mayo, unlike Belichick, who would never talk publicly about contracts, is open to it.
