Jerod Mayo Retiring as a Patriot.

Per his instagram

Expected.

Sad anyway.

aww sad. thought he was kind of going to amount to more, although i appreciate what he did. certainly won't just remember him for the last 2 years

He was never the same after the 2013 season ending injury he had. Sad to see him go.

Class. Act.

Seems like he is gone as gone can be and zero chance of coming back.

Best of luck to him in his future endeavors.

The first comment is RETIRING A PATRIOT.

He's retired, not cut.

Great Patriot. Always under rated by the majority and a shame injuries have cut his career short.

I'll miss him being here though it's the right move. It's really a shame injuries had to hamper him. He was really having a great career here.

RIP

They said on PFW this afternoon it might be too much to have to come back from all of those injuries from the last 3 seasons. Glad he was able to get ring last year.

always loved jerod. sucks that his last three years were all cut short due to injury.
enjoy retirement!!

Thank you for what you gave us Jerod, all the best to U and your family going forward. The memories will last forever....

I wish him well. He was a class act and a great leader.

So he is retiring?
Too bad.
Wonder if he is the kind of guy that really doesn't care about the money and wants to get back into the game as a coach. From the sidelines this time.

Next LB coach

Knew it was coming, but it's much harder to see it in writing...

Loved him while he was here. Congrats on the retirement and take pride in all the accomplishments you earned while in New England. Get your body back healthy, relax and do the things you would like to do. Beer will always be free in Boston if you decide to stick around.

On a side note. I'm starting to think concussion awareness, players knowing their bodies and managing finances correctly is starting to get through to some of these guys based on the recent surge of early players walking away.

Thank you, Jerod. It was a privilege to root for you.

(Who the heck is "Thundercat"?)

He was a beast when healthy. Tackling machine. I wish him and his family the best.
