Jerod Mayo’s wife seems ready to air some dirty laundry.
The New England Patriots fired Mayo, who had been hand-picked by Bill Belichick to take over, after just one season.
Of course, the team went 4-13, and their decisions and quotes drew some criticism, but many have been attacking the Pats, saying that with their roster, they haven’t given them a fair deal.

Well, Mayo’s wife, Chantel Rostant, went crazy on her Instagram Story, hinting that the franchise has lost its “class.”
“It didn’t even cross our minds to tell the truth… but I couldn’t even understand all the lies we’ve read and that are told to save face. What happened to class????” Rostant wrote on his Instagram story.
“We’ve been taking the high road and letting everyone do their own thing since Sunday. But playing with someone’s name will not be tolerated. I bet the false stories will end before the true ones begin.”
Pats legend Rob Gronkowski, who played for Mayo and was coached by Belichick, criticized the Patriots in a recent interview with Pak Gazette Digital.

I felt like it was a little unfair to him, because he took a team where he was going to need some time to build and develop to get back to winning ways,” he said. “I mean, the roster was depleted, Jerod. “He was a rookie head coach and I felt like he needed another year to really judge him based on how he would develop and grow after that first season,” Gronk said.
With a loss in their season finale, the Pats would have clinched the No. 1 pick in April, but they stole a win and are now slated to pick fourth.
After a 10-7 season in 2021, the Patriots have been trending in the wrong direction, going 8-9 in 2022 and 4-13 the last two seasons.

This was the first season without Belichick since 1999, as Belichick had coached the Pats for 24 seasons.
