There were multiple reports about Mayo\u2019s job security this past week, with ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter even \u201cleaning out\u201d that Mayo comes back for a second season.<\/p>\n<p>Mayo didn\u2019t want the attention on him after the win over the Bills, but could address his future when he meets with the media again Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust there in the locker room, pretty emotional,\u201d Mayo said. \u201cBut at the same time, these guys have been turning the page, ignoring the noise and just coming to work every day and I\u2019m very appreciative of that. I told them after the first win of the season, \u2018Coaches are nothing without the players.\u2019 And I just told them that again. I just appreciate all of the effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also told them, \u2018Look, today it\u2019s all about the game. We\u2019ll have enough time here tomorrow, next couple of days to address all the other things.\u2019 At some point and time here, I have my normal meeting with the Krafts and we\u2019ll see where it goes from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerod Mayo had a message for Patriots fans upset that New England&#8217;s win over the Bills cost it the No. 1 overall pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9245,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
