The likelihood of Jerod Mayo staying in New England continues to look more and more certain with each passing day.
Mayo has pulled his name out of the running for the Carolina Panthers head coaching job and won’t interview with them, NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry and the Boston Herald‘s Karen Guregian reported Saturday. It’s expected that Mayo will decline other possible requests to interview for a head coaching job, the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.
Saturday’s news comes two days after the Patriots announced they were in discussions to extend Mayo, who’s been the Patriots’ inside linebackers coach since 2019.
