Things don't always advance at lightning speed at One Patriot Place. Seems as though that's the case with Jerod Mayo's new extension with the team.
Details on the contract were still being ironed out going into the weekend and the expectation is they will be hammered out relatively soon, I'm told. When they are, it'll be interesting to see if a title change comes with the "long-term" deal the Patriots announced was in the works over a week ago.
While Mayo has not been focused on an upgrade in title -- more opportunity to grow professionally has always been higher on his list of desires -- he could possibly end up with the "assistant head coach" title that Dante Scarnecchia held for the bulk of his time in New England under Bill Belichick.
