NextImg:Source: Eliot Wolf expected to remain as Patriots’ de facto GM

Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is expected to remain in his current role while the franchise moves on from recently fired head coach Jerod Mayo, according to a source.

Wolf, who was officially hired to his position last May, was granted personnel control last January. Wolf immediately initiated the front office’s transition to a new, Packers-style scouting system and then assembled the Patriots’ first draft and free-agent classes since the end of the Bill Belichick era. For now, Wolf will lead another offseason for the Pats, who own the No. 4 overall pick in the draft and lead the league with $131.5 million in cap space for 2025, per Over the Cap.

Wolf, 42, has more than two decades of front office experience. He rose up the ranks in Green Bay, where his father served as a Hall of Fame general manager in the 1990s. Wolf left the Packers after their open GM job went to fellow executive Brian Gutekunst in 2018. That led to two years in Cleveland, where he worked as the Browns’ assistant GM.

The Patriots hired Wolf as a consultant in 2020, then promoted him to director of scouting two years later. Wolf is the most experienced executive in the team’s front office after senior personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith, whom he hired last offseason. Highsmith overlapped with Wolf in Green Bay and Cleveland.
