Report: Patriots set to begin search for de facto general manager

Free agency and the 2024 NFL draft have come and gone with director of scouting Eliot Wolf leading the decision-making of the New England Patriots’ personnel.

However, according to a new report, there’s a chance those efforts could be one and done.

Per CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the Patriots are reportedly moving forward with their de facto general manager search. Wolf is being considered a candidate for the job, but the team will also interview others for the position, which was held by former coach Bill Belichick for 23 years.

Sources tell CBS Sports the Patriots are moving forward with a search for their next top football executive, a role that would amount to what’s typically known in the NFL as a general manager.
