The Patriots’ uninspired loss to the Arizona Cardinals — and his bosses’ apparent reaction to it in real-time — only heated up the speculation about Jerod Mayo’s status with the team after the 2024 season.
Despite reports from the NFL’s top insiders that Mayo is largely considered safe heading into 2025, the team’s 3-11 record, Mayo’s continued on-camera blunders after games, and the potential for a brutal end to the year raise the possibility of Patriots ownership deciding to end the Mayo experiment after a year.
But former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer keeps bringing up an important reason for believing Mayo deserves to stick around for another season: the continued support, at least vocally, of his players.
