The New England Patriots enter the NFL offseason with a lot of work to do to improve upon their 4–13 record from 2023. New coach Jerod Mayo implied in January that the team was therefore prepared to make splashes in free agency.
“We’re bringing in talent, 1,000%,” Mayo said on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. “We have a lot of cap space and cash. We’re ready to burn some cash!”
However, at the NFL scouting combine, Mayo walked back his comments. The first-year head coach admitted that he shouldn’t have used the phrase “burn some cash” a month ago.
