Overview

• Eliot Wolf, currently the Patriots' director of scouting, is the frontrunner for the general manager position, following a significant role in recent draft decisions.
• The Patriots are interviewing other candidates like Brandon Hunt to comply with the NFL's Rooney Rule, which mandates interviewing minority candidates.
• Several potential candidates have declined interviews, suggesting Wolf's appointment is seen as a foregone conclusion by many.
• This move comes after a period of major changes for the Patriots, including the departure of Bill Belichick and shifts in player personnel.
• Jerod Mayo has been appointed as the new head coach, marking another key step in the team's restructuring.
