Jerod Mayo’s future could be up in the air with the New England Patriots organization after the team’s 40-7 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17.
Things got so bad that “fire Mayo” chants could be heard throughout Gillette Stadium during the game.
The Patriots have not won a game since November 10 against the Chicago Bears, and they currently have a 3-13 record on the season. They have one final shot against the Buffalo Bills in Sunday’s season finale to match their win total from last season.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter appeared on the “The Pat McAfee Show” and offered his take on what Mayo’s future could look like in New England.
“I think the Krafts have wanted to give Jerod Mayo every opportunity, and I still think that’s the case. I think they want to stick with Jerod Mayo. This is a guy they believed in, this is a guy they promoted. It’s a guy they stood behind,” said Schefter.
Mayo did speak about his future on Monday morning and indicated he has continued to have “good conversations” with ownership.
“I’m always in constant communication with ownership. I feel like we are still on the same page,” said Mayo, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “…We have good conversations. We have hard conversations. That’s just part of our relationship. Their expectation is that we need to win football games. That’s what we have to do.”
Wins have been hard to come by for the Patriots this season.
They could get back on the winning track against a Bills team expected to rest its starters for some of Sunday’s game.
