2024 New England Patriots Season
The 2024 season will be the New England Patriots' upcoming 55th season in the National Football League, their 65th overall, and their 23rd playing home games at Gillette Stadium and will be the first year under a new de facto general manager, director of scouting Eliot Wolf, and a new head coach, Jerod Mayo.
| 2024 New England Patriots season | |
|---|---|
| Owner | Robert Kraft |
| General manager | Eliot Wolf (de facto) |
| Head coach | Jerod Mayo |
| Home field | Gillette Stadium |
This is the first season since 1999 without long time head coach Bill Belichick, as he and the Patriots mutually agreed to part ways on January 11. A day later, linebacker coach Jerod Mayo was hired as the 15th head coach in franchise history; Mayo had played with the team between 2008 and 2015, winning Super Bowl XLIX with them. They will attempt to improve on their AFC-worst 4–13 record from last year, make the playoffs after a two-year absence, and end their four-year AFC East title drought. Also, this will be the first season since 2007 without special teams star Matthew Slater on the roster after he announced his retirement on February 20.
