\"Feb<\/figure>\n

The New England Patriots fired Jerod Mayo from his head coaching position after last season, and some felt that there would be a major front-office shakeup across the board.<\/p>\n

Many thought that top executive Eliot Wolf might be on his way out as well, considering the rather poor job he did at attempting to rebuild the roster last spring.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Wolf kept his job, and apparently, he was never really in danger of losing it to begin with.<\/p>\n

During a recent mailbag, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported that things are actually pretty stable in the Patriots’ organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think things are nearly as bad in New England as you may have been led to believe,\u201d Breer wrote. \u201cAnd I think the proof of it is in the hire of A.J. Highsmith as the team\u2019s new pro scouting director. Highsmith is the son of Alonzo Highsmith, who is the right-hand man to EVP of player personnel Eliot Wolf. Hiring someone that close to Wolf into a vital director\u2019s role is a good indication that Wolf\u2019s going nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

New England has actually enjoyed a pretty good offseason this time around, at least on paper, as it thoroughly addressed its defense in free agency, added a couple of veteran wide receivers in Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins and then filled some pretty glaring needs in the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Of course, the jury is still largely out, but after a brutal 2024 offseason in which the Pats were unable to land anyone of consequence in free agency and then put together a horrendous draft class (outside of Drake Maye), what Wolf has done over the last couple of months has definitely been a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

We’ll see if the Patriots are able to show improvement on the field next fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
