For the first time this century, someone other than Bill Belichick is officially calling the shots in the New England Patriots front office.
The Patriots officially named Eliot Wolf as the team’s executive vice president of player personnel on Saturday. As the de-facto general manager, Wolf will have complete control over New England’s personnel, salary cap management and control of the 53-man roster.
The 42-year-old executive is entering his fifth season in New England, serving as the director of scouting the last two seasons and working as the de-facto general manager in the lead up to the 2024 NFL Draft.
