The Patriots have a big decision to make when the 2024 NFL Draft begins in April. New England has the no. 3 and could have the option to select a quarterback or receiver.The six-time Super Bowl champion could use help at both positions. Mack Jones struggled in a crucial third year and was eventually dealt to Bailey Zappé. But he didn’t turn out to be much better than Jones. The Patriots offense also struggled. There’s a chance they’ll make Marvin Harrison smaller. Meanwhile, New England’s offensive force in 2024 may look different. On the latest episode of Eye On Foxborough,…
Cam Newton hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2021, but he hasn’t officially retired from the league yet. But if the former New England Patriots quarterback does return, he’s only considering one team.- I haven’t done all three yet. Newton told Brandon Marshall when asked what his top three teams are during an appearance on “Good Morning Football.” “Now I have a family. It’s always been about family and I have no plans to leave Atlanta. I don’t want to unless it’s Atlanta.Newton lives in Atlanta and has five children. So it makes sense that you don’t want to…
The New England Patriots checked off their offseason to-do list and named Jerod Mayo their new coach. Another box he needs to check is quarterback.Mack Jones had a mediocre third year, sitting on the bench at No. 4 before Bailey Zappé became the permanent starter for the remainder of the season. Jones hasn’t made much progress, and the biggest question heading into 2024 is whether the Patriots will give him another shot or move on from the Alabama product.But if you ask James White, he could see Jones coming back. On the latest episode of Eye On Foxborough, the three-time…
Jerod Mayo appeared on WEEI yesterday and delivered a message of encouragement to a weary Patriot nation. He and Robert Kraft are willing to spend the money. With the fourth-highest payroll in the NFL, the Patriots have money to pay pending free agents and buy the best groceries. It’s all good to hear. Plus, the bottom line is that old “Scrooge” Belichick is gone so he can “burn some cash.”Conor Ryan explained, “Last season, Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal quoted Kraft as saying, ‘[Bill Belichick] didn’t come to me and I didn’t get everything I wanted in terms…
The New England Patriots have begun their search for a new offensive coordinator. Since Bill O’Brien’s departure, the team has interviewed or considered three candidates so far: Jack Robinson and Nick Kaley, who spent the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Rams, and Dane of the Cincinnati Bengals. Besides being relatively young (Cayley is 40, Robinson and Pitcher are 37), the three have something else in common. All have experience in the “Shanahan System,” named after former NFL head coach Mike Shanahan. Robinson and Kailey were introduced to the system under coach Sean McVay in Los Angeles. Robinson, a former…
The New England Patriots have new head coach Jerod Mayo and a solid defense. However, little is known about what kind of offense the team will run. This is a huge deal. They ranked 31st in scoring and 30th in yardage last season. The Patriots have the 29th best offensive rating on Pro Football Focus’ grading scale at 63.4. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the FA.The team needs a new quarterback and is moving to the offensive line. But the Patriots also need to address an area that has been too often overlooked in previous regimes: wide…
The Green Bay Packers are officially out of the NFL playoffs and must turn their attention to the offseason. They surprised many pundits in 2023, and with Jordan Love starting to show off his prodigious physical gifts, the Pack became a great team. However, your choice requires some modifications.The Packers are expected to have about $8 million in cap space this offseason. Certain contract restructurings and cap adjustments will definitely increase this number. Still, some tough decisions will have to be made, some free agents will be allowed to travel and cuts will be made. Here’s a look at five…
The NFL is clearly the most dominant cultural force in America. While TV viewership across all genres and events is declining, the NFL continues to grow. Of course, NFL playoff games get the highest ratings, along with holiday games like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The crowd was bigger than usual this year as the San Francisco 49ers set a new record by defeating the Green Bay Packers 24-21 on Saturday night.The game averaged 37.5 million primetime viewers on the East Coast, according to Fox. Fox claims this is the most watched Saturday broadcast since the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, France,…
Jerod Mayo, the first New England Patriots coach since Bill Belichick, already has high praise for troubled quarterback Mack Jones. Jones, the team’s top signal caller since being selected 15th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, manned the position four times last season as the Patriots went 4-13. The work ethic of Mayo Jones, who the Patriots introduced as Belichick’s successor earlier this week, appears to have impressed the organization’s newly promoted leader. “Mac Jones was working out,” Mayo told ESPN. “That attitude, that turn-the-page mentality, I really appreciate.”Patriots owner Robert Draft and newly named New England Patriots head coach…
It’s unknown where Bill Belichick will coach during the 2024 NFL season, but it may not be the New England Patriots as he continues to look for a head coaching job elsewhere. Jerod Mayo took over coaching duties for the Patriots and stepped into GOAT-sized shoes to fill in New England. So where do all these coaching changes leave Steve Belichick and Brian Belichick, the two sons of the Bills football coach? You’d think that sons would follow their father everywhere, but apparently that’s not the case. Like Bill, Steve Belichick and Brian Belichick plan to continue coaching in 2024,…
