The New England Patriots appear to be in no rush to fill the vacant general manager position in the wake of the departure of former head coach Bill Belichick, CBS Sports reported on Saturday.
Per the report, the Patriots have made no effort to interview external candidates for the vacant position.
The Patriots haven't had a general manager since Belichick was hired in January 2000. According to league rules, the GM position can be left vacant all season.
Recent reported front office hires and comments by team owner Robert Kraft suggest the Patriots are more concerned about the short-term when it comes to executive positions.
