He was a beast when healthy. Tackling machine. I wish him and his family the best.
awww..c'mon...you don't sound older than 92...stop putting yourself down like this, I'm sure someone somewhere dislikes you for who you REALLY are...
So there seems to be some confusion as to if Mayo is retiring from the NFL or retiring as a Patriot.
At any rate, I wonder if BB had one of those sit downs with Jerod and told him he is done and Jerod is thinking it through...just like with Bru and Troy
I vividly remember we were looking for the record only to be disappointed that there was no official record.I remember a Jets game in his rookie year when he had 20 tackles. 20!
I think that may be why he retired instead of trying to go somewhere else. There must have been a team willing to pay the league min for him, but he obviously has coaching in his sights and there is no finer LB tutor than BB.Didn't we just lose our LB coach? Could Mayo possibly transition into a coaching role instead? He has always been an intelligent player, he could be great as our LB coach.

His 175 in 2010 should put him in the top 5 of the unofficial list.
Plus he has $40m in career earnings. He can sit on the couch and watch cartoons till 2082 and do just fine.Getting a little misty in here. I truly think he could play a bit more elsewhere because of his leadership qualities, but respect his decision to call it a day, after all those unfortunate injuries.
He should never need to look for a job, unless he wants to, as long as the Patriots are around.
You poor bastard
