Nick Caley isn't staying put in New England, after all.
The Los Angeles Rams are hiring Caley as their new tight ends coach, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported Sunday night. Caley had been with the Patriots since 2015 and had served as the team's tight ends coach for the past five seasons.
Caley's contract expired after the 2022 season, however, and he recently interviewed for offensive coordinator positions with the New York Jets, Houston Texans and Patriots before New England hired Bill O'Brien.
The 40-year-old assistant is viewed as a rising star in the coaching ranks and reportedly was a candidate to replace Josh McDaniels as the Patriots' OC entering the 2022 season before the team made Matt Patricia its play-caller.
