Bengals’ Trey Brown has notable link to rebuilding Patriots, Jerod Mayo

Could Bengals executive Trey Brown pop up with the Patriots?

Cincinnati Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown has a connection to the New England Patriots worth mentioning as the hiring cycle continues to heat up.

Those Patriots just hired Jerod Mayo as head coach and will now move to fill such roles as general manager.

In an interesting twist, as pointed out by CLNS Media’s Taylor Kyles, there’s a connection there — Brown was a scouting assistant and area scout for the Patriots back in 2012.

Brown has already been prominent in the hiring cycle, notably getting an opportunity to interview for the general manager position with the Las Vegas Raiders.

With the Patriots moving quickly, Brown might be one to watch for the budding plan in Foxboro, too.

Bengals’ Trey Brown to get GM interview with Raiders

A member of the Bengals gets a big chance.

At least one member of the Cincinnati Bengals front office will get a look from other teams during this offseason’s hiring cycle.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Las Vegas Raiders have requested an interview with Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown for their vacant general manager position.

Brown’s name coming up in these discussions was inevitable due to resume and performance. Before joining the Bengals in 2021, he had links to Bill Belichick in New England and Howie Roseman in Philadelphia, to name a few of the bigger points.

Reportedly a part of the GM search in Las Vegas a few years ago before the brief Mike Mayock era, Brown’s loss would be significant to a Bengals team that relies so heavily on the proper marriage of scouting and coaching.

Several more candidates interview for Raiders open General Manager position

Up to three interviews now for Raiders GM job

The Raiders are wasting no time in their efforts to find a replacement for recently fired Mike Mayock as General Manager. Today former Bengals scout Trey Brown became the third to interview with the team according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The previous interviews have been with Bears Assistant Director of Player Personnel Champ Kelly and Patriots Director of Player Personnel Dave Ziegler.

Previous reports had the Raiders expected to put in a request to interview Colts Vice President of Player Personnel Ed Dodds, though no reported interview has happened as of yet. Dodds was then reported as having withdrawn from candidacy for the Bears open GM position.

#Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds informed the #Bears he’s withdrawing his name from their GM search, per source.

The string of GM interviews should come as very good news. The Raiders are also in a search for their next head coach. And whomever that ends up being should be selected at least in part by the new GM, so it’s important to have him in the building before the head coach hire is made.

Thus far the only outside head coaching interview the Raiders have had is with Patriots LB coach Jerod Mayo. They have also interviewed current Interim Head Coach Rich Bisaccia.
