New England Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf will take control of the personnel department and the 53-man roster, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Wolf will work closely with head coach Jerod Mayo, Rapoport added. A specific title for the 41-year-old’s role has yet to be reported.
The Patriots are also finalizing a deal to bring in the University of Miami’s general manager of football operations, Alonzo Highsmith, as an executive in the personnel department, a source told Chad Graff, Manny Navarro, and Bruce Feldman of The Athletic.
