Mayo signed a contract extension with the team two weeks ago and was expected to be named the Patriots defensive coordinator.

The Patriots announced last week that linebackers coach Jerod Mayo had agreed to a new contract with the team. Terms of the deal were not disclosed and neither was a possible title.

The Patriots finished a frustrating 8-9 season with a 35-23 loss to the Bills on Sunday. Coming off a 10-7 season and a playoff appearance in 2021, there is no other way to classify this season than as a step backward.
