ESPN’s Mike Reiss, who cited sources, reported Friday evening that executive vice president of football business Robyn Glaser is set to resign from her job with the Patriots. She spent 18 years with the franchise and was one of the team’s highest-ranking executives. Reiss noted that Glaser plans to work until mid-February before stepping away.
Glaser became a polarizing figure this past season as she added senior advisor to former coach Jerod Mayo among her responsibilities, which also included business negotiations, finance, HR, technology, legal, compliance, and league relationships, per MassLive’s Mark Daniels.
Bill Belichick made sure to point out Glaser at times during the 2024 campaign as things went sideways with New England with a second straight 4-13 season.
Glaser joined the Patriots in 2007 as a senior adviser to ownership and club counsel while Belichick was still in charge. She said in the AppleTV+ docuseries “The Dynasty” that on her first day on the job was when league executives and security were at One Patriot Place investigating the Spygate scandal.
Glaser worked her way up the organizational depth chart over the years, being promoted to vice president in 2011 and and senior vice president in 2018, per Reiss. Her title changed in 2022 when she became senior vice president, business affairs and chief administrative officer of football.
With Glaser’s impending departure, it feels like one of many soon-to-be changes coming to the Patriots this offseason with Vrabel now at the helm.
