The New England Patriots are undergoing significant changes under new head coach Jerod Mayo, who has replaced Bill Belichick. Mayo has introduced several in-game changes, such as equipping special teams coaches with headsets to enhance collaboration. Despite these efforts, the Patriots faced a setback when wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk declined their lucrative contract offer, primarily due to concerns about the team's quarterback situation. Mayo acknowledged that the Patriots need to start winning games to attract high-profile players. Additionally, the Patriots cut veteran wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster to focus on their promising young receiving corps. Mayo aims to establish a new culture and roster, hoping to make New England an appealing destination for talent once again.
