New England: So, the Patriots are making some moves, huh? They just hired Mike Vrabel as their head coach, but the front office situation is a bit murky.
Right now, Eliot Wolf is acting as the general manager, but there’s chatter that he might not be around for long. Robert Kraft mentioned Wolf would be “staying on,” but who knows what that really means?
Reports say they might bring in Ryan Cowden from the Giants, but he won’t have the GM title right away. Still, he’s got a solid background with Vrabel, which could shake things up.
People in the NFL are raising eyebrows about this setup. It’s like having Wolf at the top, but with Cowden and Vrabel pulling some strings behind the scenes.
Perry shared that he got some texts from folks in football who are curious about how this will all play out. One person even joked about Wolf sticking around, hinting it might not end well.
Another comment suggested they should just clean house, especially with a strong personality like Vrabel in the mix. He’s known for being hands-on with both coaching and front office decisions.
It’s a bit of a puzzle. Will Wolf be okay with Vrabel having a say in player choices? And how will they all work together if they don’t see eye to eye?
They could just let Wolf go, but that would mean a whole search for a new GM, which is a hassle. So, keeping Wolf might be the easier route, but is it the right one for a team that really needs to step up its game?
It’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds. Keep an eye on what Perry and others have to say about it!
