The New England Patriots are restructuring their front office, with Eliot Wolf, the director of scouting, taking control of the personnel department and the 53-man roster. Wolf's influence is underscored by the recent hires connected to his Green Bay tenure, as the Patriots seem to be emulating the 2013 Packers' successful front office model. Alonzo Highsmith, with previous stints at the Packers, Browns, and Seahawks, will join as a senior personnel executive. The reshuffle also involves Jerod Mayo working closely with Wolf, Matt Groh focusing on college scouting, and Pat Stewart playing a significant role in all aspects of the department.
