We all gave it our all every single time, everything we wanted to do, we did it with the mind and goal set to win. And that\u2019s kind of my mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wise did go on to say that &#8220;nobody wanted&#8221; Mayo to get canned, but he also wasn&#8217;t ready to fall on the sword for the now-former head coach, either.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old logged 29 tackles and five sacks for the Pats this season.<\/p>\n<p>Wise, who played his collegiate football at Arkansas, was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>He has spent his entire career in New England, and while he has never made a Pro Bowl, he has been a consistent contributor along the Pats&#8217; defensive front.<\/p>\n<p>Wise&#8217;s best campaign came in 2022, when he racked up 59 tackles and 7.5 sacks.<\/p>\n<p>The Suffolk, Va. native is slated to hit free agency, and given his age, there is a good chance that he may follow Mayo out the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0surprised a lot of people with their instant decision to\u00a0fire Jerod Mayo\u00a0after the regular season concluded, but it seems like this was building for quite&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9502","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 -
