Patriots send Jerod Mayo (shoulder) to injured reserve
New England Patriots inside linebacker Jerod Mayo has been placed on season-ending injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
What It Means:
Mayo hurt his shoulder in the third quarter of Saturday's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The two-time Pro Bowler only played 36.2 percent of defensive snaps this year as the No. 4 linebacker behind Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and Jonathan Freeny.
New England can save $8 million against the cap by declining Mayo's option for 2016. Mayo is also due a $4 million roster bonus on March 9. If Mayo intends on staying in New England, he'll likely have to restructure his contract.
