The Atlanta Falcons officially began their offseason program Tuesday, with first-year head coach Raheem Morris laying out a detailed plan for the 2024 season in front of the entire team.
The New England Patriots and first-year head coach Jerod Mayo didn't do the same.
While NFL teams with new head coaches are eligible to begin their offseason programs on April 2, the Patriots opted to wait a week and start their program next Monday, April 8.
"Look, there’s still going to be time to put this thing together," Mayo told reporters last week when asked why New England is pushing back the beginning of its workouts.
