He helped lead a defense that was in a transitional stage, helping guide the team to a Super Bowl appearance in 2011 before injuries plagued\u00a0his career from 2013-2015.\u00a0Mayo suffered a torn pectoral twice in 2013 and most recently this January after the divisional round versus the Kansas City Chiefs. In 2014 Mayo\u00a0tore his patellar tendon. Mayo\u00a0played a combined 12 games over 2013-2014,\u00a0missing the Super Bowl championship last February.<\/p>\n<p>Mayo rebounded to play in all 16 regular season games in his final NFL season in 2015, but only started half. He walks away from the game at 29 years old following the latest injury.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>PatsFans<\/em> own Miguel Benzan fully states in this article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/salary-cap\/2016\/02\/16\/examining-the-salary-cap-ramifications-of-jerod-mayos-retirement\/\">HERE<\/a>, Mayo&#8217;s retirement led to key salary cap ramifications moving forward, while freeing up\u00a0$6.475 million in cap space.<\/p>\n<p>Below is Mayo&#8217;s statement from Instagram with the bold caption &#8220;Retiring A Patriot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BB3XIRcK6Oa\/<\/p>\n<p>Many current and former teammates reflected on Mayo&#8217;s career\u00a0over social media.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">to the best teammate, toughest guys &amp; realest cat walking. glad to strap it up w you Senor. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jerod_mayo51?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jerod_mayo51<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/captain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#captain<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gjmvXTx7e2\">pic.twitter.com\/gjmvXTx7e2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Danny Amendola (@DannyAmendola) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DannyAmendola\/status\/699814506185256960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Congrats on a great career proud to call you a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/teammate?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#teammate<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NewEnglandLegend?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NewEnglandLegend<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sSttY1TcUh\">pic.twitter.com\/sSttY1TcUh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Julian Edelman (@Edelman11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Edelman11\/status\/699769268385267714?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chan95Jones\/status\/699759392141504512<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just hearing about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jerod_mayo51?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jerod_Mayo51<\/a> retiring, will be missed on and off the field.
