The New England Patriots are entering the 2024 season with a new head coach for the first time in over two decades.
This team ran through Bill Belichick for many years, and while he left a lasting impact, it was made clear that he was no longer needed.
Belichick’s legacy will not soon be forgotten, but the Patriots can’t rely on their laurels to get them through the next several months.
Jerod Mayo needed to take over the reins quickly, and it seems that he’s adapted to his new role with ease.
This was amplified in a recent conversation with the media that was shared by Carlos Talks Pats on Twitter.
Mayo has already approached this new role with a sense of humility and honesty, as he shared an anecdote about a conversation he had with Kendrick Bourne about his role with the team moving forward.
As he said, “I did talk to him this morning and it was a good conversation. And once again, I feel like the story is so much further along than anything else. I just wanted to make sure we cleared the air and I do believe in being transparent with the players.”

Mayo didn’t necessarily address whether or not Bourne will be traded, but he did divulge that he already has a great relationship with the longtime veteran.
Regardless of what happens, and what players will be on the Patriots’ offense heading into the year, the 2024 season could be more chaotic than many realize.
