"They allowed me to live out my childhood dream and I’m very thankful for that." The post Matthew Slater discusses leaving Patriots organization after 1 season on Jerod Mayo’s staff appeared first on Boston.

Deron Mayo, 36, has been with New England since 2018, serving as an assistant strength coach under Moses Cabrera until he was elevated into the head role last season. Before that he was playing the game as a linebacker, spending the summer of 2011 with the Broncos before heading to the CFL from 2012-17.

McAdoo served in the role of senior offensive assistant for the team under Jerod Mayo in 2024. He has previously worked for the Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars, among other teams. He is most known for being the head coach of the New York Giants from 2016-2017.

When Mike Vrabel's full Patriots coaching staff was announced last week, there was a notable name missing: New England special teams legend Matthew Slater.

Last season, the former All-Pro and captain worked as the Patriots special assistant to the head coach. That job, however, didn’t carry over to Mike Vrabel’s new staff and after one season, Slater said he opted to focus on his family over football.
