Of course, Jacoby took the news very well. He won't have to play behind this abhorrent OL anymore.

[@silverknight876]

That narrative is gonna last maybe one more week before it shifts fully to “The line isn’t good, but Jacoby was the majority of why”

[@DMKFACTOR]

He’s got 8 million reasons to be okay with it! He lasted 5 games last year in Washington too!

Getting paid to ride the pine and not get killed

I’m sure that AVP was fine with the news because I think he knows that if they don’t start winning he may not have a job anymore and mayo is kinda the same way where he needs to win now to secure the job for the future and I’m not talking about playoffs or anything just getting some wins or close losses will make both AVP and mayo look better

[@nickk7425]

Idk if I really like this decision, especially against Houston. If anything, Mayes' first game behind center should have been last week against Miami. Really don't want to see our first round draft pick go out and get killed behind that O line, possibly loosing all confidence and having his career destroyed in the process...

Love it, all the diaper wearers that think sitting your QB guarantees they'll be good are rushing to their bot bots 😂

[@JamesDeGouveia]

Mayo is so out of his depth… get him out

[@ADR-oc2pz]

Mayo will be fired in the middle of next season. He simply is overwhelmed and he kisses the players butts.

[@SkeletorsSon]

He won't, it usually takes 3 to 5 high pick drafts to turn a franchise around, mid way through year 3 is more realistic.

[@ADR-oc2pz]

Patriots are DESPERATE, so they kissed the " PLAN" good bye. Terrible team going nowhere.
