The Patriots’ intention to hire a GM-like executive: The Patriots were led through the offseason to this point—including one of the more high-profile drafts in recent team history—by director of scouting Eliot Wolf.
Still, New England appears to be at least exploring the possibility that Wolf won’t automatically slide into the role of general manager (defined in the Patriots’ case as a “primary football executive,” though the job functions will essentially be the same).
According to multiple reports, the Patriots are set to interview Eagles director of scouting Brandon Hunt for the front office role.
