Mayo’s name has come up for a number of teams in search of a defensive coordinator. The Panthers also requested to interview him for their vacant head coaching position.
Mayo, 36, was drafted in the first round by the Patriots out of Tennessee in 2008. He played eight seasons with the team before retiring following the 2015 season.
He joined the Patriots coaching staff as an inside linebackers coach in 2019 and has held the position ever since.
