The Patriots’ season is done, but the mailbag rolls along. This week, we have questions about draft hypotheticals, how the coaching staff will look next season, the future of Jerod Mayo, and much more. Let’s get to it. Will the Patriots go with a wide receiver, offensive lineman, or will they try to trade the fourth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft?

After enjoying one of the lengthiest periods of coaching stability under Bill Belichick, the Patriots are going the one-and-done rout with Jerod Mayo.

The New England Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, according to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Monday. Springer had the second overall special teams unit in the NFL, per statistics from Pro Football Focus. So it would make sense that coach Mike Vrabel would like to retain that success on the team.
