Pats set to begin anew under coach Jerod Mayo, a new QB and rebuilt roster in 2024
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS EXPECTATIONS: The Patriots begin a new era in 2024 after parting ways with former coach Bill Belichick after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles. Factoring in injuries to starters such as receiver Kendrick Bourne, tight end Hunter Henry and left guard Cole Strange will likely prevent New England from getting anywhere close to the postseason in Mayo’s first season. NEW FACES: Head coach Jerod Mayo, executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington, special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer QB Jacoby Brissett, QB Drake Maye, QB Joe Milton III, TE Austin Hooper, WR Ja’Lynn Polk, WR K.J. STRENGTHS: It starts with Mayo, who has brought a new energy and feel to the sideline, a much-needed change after Belichick led the Patriots to just one playoff appearance following Tom Brady’s final season with the team in 2019.
