New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said top personnel executives Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith will remain with the organization into the 2025 season and will both be involved in head-coaching interviews to find the successor for Jerod Mayo, who was fired following the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Wolf is the club's executive vice president of player personnel and is expected to remain with the team as their general manager moving forward. He joined the Patriots in May of last year and served as the GM throughout the offseason. As the Pats search for a new head coach, their primary selling point will be young quarterback Drake Maye, who showed flashes of being a franchise signal-caller in his rookie season despite a concerning lack of talent at mostly every other position on the roster.

The New England Patriots officially named Eliot Wolf as executive vice president of player personnel on Saturday. Wolf will oversee the overall direction of the personnel department, the management of the salary cap and is in control of the 53-man roster. He's effectively the Patriots' general manager under owner Robert Kraft after previously serving as director of scouting. Wolf will essentially be taking over the role that former head coach Bill Belichick had for so long. The 42-year-old Wolf is a veteran of 20 NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers (2004-17), Cleveland Browns (2018-19) and the Patriots (2020-23). He's entering his fifth season with the Patriots after originally joining the organization as a scouting consultant in 2020.

The New England Patriots named Jerod Mayo as the successor to former head coach Bill Belichick, but they have yet to name a new general manager. Mayo began reaching out to candidates shortly after he was hired, and it seems likely a new voice will be added to the personnel department, but that role or title is still anyone's guess. In-house candidates Eliot Wolf and Matt Groh have been under consideration. If Wolf is running the show, the Patriots are expected to give a long, hard look at drafting a left tackle with the third overall pick this year. It's an attractive job opening, as the new GM will have a blank slate with a first-time head coach and an owner, Robert Kraft, who is highly regarded by league executives. For the last 24 years, Belichick has been making all personnel decisions for the Patriots.
