The New England Patriots on Saturday named Eliot Wolf the organization’s executive vice president of player personnel.
Wolf, who was the favorite to land the job after he served as the de facto general manager during the NFL draft and offseason, will be responsible for overall direction of the personnel department, the management of the salary cap and have control of the 53-man roster, per the team’s release.
“As I have started multiple times during the offseason, the plan was to observe the working relationship and involvement between Eliot and Jerod and see how they managed our offseason personnel decisions,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft wrote in a statement.
