New England Patriots quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant has decided to remain with the franchise rather than discuss the vacant offensive coordinator position with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Grant will officially stay in New England to continue his work with the team's offensive unit. A primary focus of his tenure will remain the development of young quarterback Drake Maye, whom the team selected with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Keeping Grant in the building ensures continuity for Maye as he enters a pivotal stage of his professional career.
The Las Vegas Raiders had identified Grant as a candidate for their open offensive coordinator role, but the coach has chosen to bypass that opportunity to remain part of the Patriots' coaching staff. Grant has been a rising name in coaching circles, and his decision to stay is a significant retention for the New England staff under their current leadership.
The Raiders' search for a new offensive play-caller continues as they look to fill out their staff for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, the Patriots solidify their support system for their franchise quarterback ahead of the new campaign.
