12/30/24 | Jerod Mayo Clears Air About Odd Sight In Patriots' Blowout Loss. There hasn't been a ton of consistency with the Patriots' captaincy this season. New England was forced to backfill a pair of captains earlier in the campaign when David Andrews and Ja'Whaun Bentley both went down with season-ending injuries. Jabrill Peppers, meanwhile, had his captaincy revoked due to a legal matter that kept him away from the team for weeks. Jacoby Brissett noticeably did not have a “C” patch on his jersey when he briefly replaced starting quarterback Drake Maye in the Patriots' home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium.

12/18/24 | NFL Insider Weighs In On Mike Vbrabel-Patriots Speculation. Jerod Mayo is not exactly off to a great start in his first year as head coach of the New England Patriots. From the decision to continually start Jacoby Brissett under center for the first five weeks of the season to questionable play-calling and backpedaling comments about the team and coaching staff, Mayo has been in the hot seat pretty much since he was named Bill Belichick's successor in January. After the Patriots' fourth straight loss, questions regarding Mayo's status with the team ramped up. NFL Insiders began speculating whether Mike Vrabel would be the ideal candidate to replace Mayo should New England decide to part ways with the first-year coach.

12/16/24 | QB Jacoby Brissett takes shot at the Patriots when discussing his year. The New England Patriots entered the 2024 NFL season with Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback and rookies Drake Maye and Joe Milton III as their backup and third-string quarterbacks, respectively. It didn't take a football genius to tell that New England didn't put Brissett in the best situation to succeed, as their offensive line was putrid, the weapons were lackluster and the coaching staff was inexperienced in play-calling.

After signing a one-year deal with the team as the bridge option for rookie quarterback Drake Maye, Brissett will likely seek out another opportunity that gives him a chance to play. When asked if a return to New England was in the cards, the veteran quarterback sounded uncertain. Source: https://patriotswire.usatoday.com/2024/12/15/jacob... |

12/13/24 | Patriots' Jerod Mayo gets real on Christian Barmore after injury return. The New England Patriots' rebuilding season has gone like many expected so far. The Patriots tried to ride it out with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback for a while before making the switch to Drake Maye, and they currently sit at 3-10 while they finish out the season in December. Just like any young team, the Patriots are just hoping to see progress and signs of promise from some of their young players, and they have gotten that so far. Maye looks like a future franchise quarterback and is able to make plays to keep the Patriots in games almost every week despite playing with arguably the worst offensive supporting cast in the NFL.

12/10/24 | Patriots release veteran wide receiver after healthy scratches. The New England Patriots haven't done the best job of surrounding their quarterbacks (Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye) with capable wide receivers to throw to, and one of the biggest failures was the addition of K.J. Osborn. On Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Patriots are releasing Osborn just 13 games into the season. Osborn, 27, played collegiately at Buffalo (2015-18) and Miami (2019) before the Minnesota Vikings selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft.

12/07/24 | Blockbuster Patriots trade suggestion lands All-Pro wide receiver in New England. The New England Patriots failed to surround their quarterbacks (veteran Jacoby Brissett and rookie Drake Maye) with the necessary talent at wide receiver this year, leading to struggles on the offensive side of the ball. Next offseason, they'll need to add more weapons if they want Maye to reach his full potential, and they'll have a number of ways to acquire talent. One thing that New England could do is put together a package to acquire a top receiver like Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase. Recently, Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame suggested a blockbuster deal between the two squads that bring Chase to the Patriots. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/new-england-pa... |
12/03/24 | Curran: I was wrong to say Pats shouldn't draft Maye. It's been a predictably rough 2024 NFL season for the rebuilding New England Patriots. The third-overall draft pick has resurrected the Patriots offense since replacing veteran QB Jacoby Brissett as the starter in Week 6. Curran believed New England would have been better off trading down from No. 3 overall to garner assets and expedite its rebuild. Source: https://www.nbcboston.com/news/sports/nfl/new-engl... |
12/02/24 | Patriots safety had captainship stripped ahead of matchup with Colts. The New England Patriots got one of their best defensive players back on the field on Sunday, as Jabrill Peppers made his return to action for the team. During his return, Peppers noticeably took the field without the "C" on his jersey, which signified his captain status. "That was a mutual decision between me and (Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo)," Peppers said. New England started the season with Peppers, David Andrews, Ja'Whaun Bentley, Jacoby Brissett, Deatrich Wise Jr. and Joe Cardona as their captains.

The Patriots face the Titans in another matchup between the bottom barrel of the AFC, but it's an opportunity for New England to win its second game in a row. Jacoby Brissett led the Patriots to a gutsy win over the New York Jets last Sunday. The Detroit Lions demolished Tennessee, so you would think the Titans would view Week 9 as a bounce-back spot. In what's been dubbed the “post-Lions hangover,” teams that faced Dan Campbell's side lost the following week. Source: https://nesn.com/2024/10/winnning-streak-patriots-... |
