Patriots Legend Urges New England To Retain Jerod Mayo At All Costs

There was no mincing words from New England Patriots legendary linebacker Tedy Bruschi.

Bruschi, who now is an NFL analyst for ESPN, believes the Patriots should do everything in their power to make sure Jerod Mayo stays in New England.

The Patriots are in the process of trying to make that a reality as in a rare move Thursday night, the organization released a statement saying they have “begun contract extension discussions” with Mayo in an effort to keep him with the franchise for the “long-term.”

Mayo has been in discussion for other vacant NFL coaching jobs this offseason, and reportedly the door still isn’t closed on him possibly becoming the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers.
