At 3-10, the New England Patriots technically have nothing to play for over their final four games of the 2024 season.
But do some members of the organization need to prove they deserve a role with the 2025 team? And is first-year head coach Jerod Mayo on that list?
Despite multiple reports that Mayo is on stable ground to return in 2025, Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal reported earlier this week that if Patriots owner Robert Kraft "comes to the realization he made the wrong choice with Mayo, he wouldn't hesitate to rectify the situation," presumably by parting with Mayo.
