Matthew Slater, who holds the NFL record for most special teams Pro Bowl appearances with 10, announced his retirement on Tuesday after 16 seasons.
"I have given all that I possibly can to respect and honor the game," Slater wrote in a social media post shared by the New England Patriots. "Though it is time for my relationship with the game to evolve, the love I have for it will last a lifetime."
The quarterback situation for the New England Patriots might have been even worse than it appeared.
Mac Jones struggled in his third season and towards the end of the year Bill Belichick wouldn't even name a starter ahead of games. According to a MassLive report, communication between Jones and Belichick was "nonexistent."
Belichick is gone and Jones remains on the roster, for now.
According to Sports Illustrated, Jones was "well-liked" when he first arrived, but "lost support of the building" when his promising rookie season did not carry over. The report described the situation as "toxic," saying there were times when, as a rookie in 2022, Bailey Zappe would watch tape in the receiver room, because the quarterback room was such a mess.
First-year New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo is turning to an old teammate to fill a void on his coaching staff, hiring Dont'a Hightower to work with the team's linebackers.
There were a number of head coaching vacancies in the NFL over the last month, but Bill Belichick remains without a job after parting ways with the New England Patriots.
"I don't know the criteria for hiring coaches. I've never been a part of it," Brady said this week on his "Let's Go!" podcast. "I mean, I'm surprised that the greatest coach ever doesn't have a job, absolutely. But I'm surprised [by] a lot of things in the NFL."
Belichick interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons twice, but the job ultimately went to Raheem Morris.
If Belichick doesn't take a job as an assistant coach, next season will be the first time since 1975 that he will not be coaching in the NFL.
Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the 53-man roster for the New England Patriots.
