Nick Caley:

One interesting bit of news on Wednesday is the fact that it appears that former Patriots tight ends coach Nick Caley was the guy they ultimately wanted to hire as their offensive coordinator.

Tuesday night reportedly saw the Patriots meet with the first of several quarterback prospects, with NFL Analyst Ryan Fowler reporting that New England was among several teams who were set to meet with LSU quarterback Jalen Daniels last night.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said on WEEI on Monday that this would be another busy week as he settles into his new role, and it sounds like they’re still exploring their options as he builds out his coaching staff.

“the greatest player to play the game, it means a lot. And I think it means a lot to me, too, because this is where his career started”

He’s very well-versed in the fundamentals and schemes. He does a good job. Really glad we have him.” Bill Belichick on DeMarcus Covington.

The New England Patriots released some news on Thursday, with five veterans set to start training camp next week on PUP.
