The New England Patriots are hiring former New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo as an offensive assistant, sources tell Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
McAdoo joins the new-look Patriots coaching staff under coach Jerod Mayo. He will work closely with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, whom he worked alongside while they were both assistants with the Green Bay Packers.
McAdoo, 46, started his NFL coaching career with the New Orleans Saints as an assistant in 2004 and held positions with the Packers and San Francisco 49ers before joining the Giants as their OC in 2014.

Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a contract for the 2024 season, Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman of The New York Post report.
Kershaw will start the season on the injured list as he recovers from shoulder surgery that he had in early November. The 35-year-old is expected to miss the first half of the season as he said after the surgery that his return date will be “some point next summer.”
Los Angeles will report to spring training on Thursday, which is when the team can place Kershaw on the 60-day IL to clear his 40-man roster spot.
The Los Angeles Lakers have maintained the same approach for months regarding the availability of Austin Reaves in trade talks.
In short, there’s virtually no path to an outcome where the guard isn’t a member of the Los Angeles roster after Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. But the one thing that could alter that stance is a clear-cut All-Star.
While teams “continue to ask” for Reaves in trade negotiations, according to The Athletic’s Jovan Buha, the 25-year-old remains off the table, barring a major change in the current availability of a top-tier talent.

With the NBA trade deadline now just about 48 hours away, here are some of the latest rumors and reports as the Feb. 8, 3 p.m. ET buzzer for teams to make moves rapidly gets ready to sound.
Thursday will mark a special day in Los Angeles Lakers history as a statue of the late Kobe Bryant will be unveiled outside of Crypto.com Arena.
Bryant, who died in a 2020 helicopter crash, will become the seventh Lakers figure honored with a statue outside of the arena.
To commemorate the occasion, the Lakers will wear Black Mamba-inspired uniforms, which Bryant helped co-design, during Thursday’s game against the visiting Denver Nuggets. The uniforms will include “LA 24” on the belt, while Bryant’s Nos. 8 and 24 can be seen under the flap of each leg of the shorts.
In a twist for the Oakland Athletics franchise, Las Vegas mayor Carolyn Goodman blasted the franchise’s relocation proposal and said the A’s should remain in Oakland.
Goodman cited an “odd feeling” throughout the process in her business dealings with the team, specifically around the franchise’s rejection of the Tropicana stadium site, which she believed to be the better of the two stadium sites. Instead, the A’s wanted to move the team just off the Las Vegas strip that would be subject to severe traffic woes.
