The New England Patriots have named Eliot Wolf the Executive Vice President of Player Personnel according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Wolf moves from his previous position as director of scouting to serve as executive vice president of player personnel, a position that now gives him control of the personnel department, the salary cap, and the 53-man roster in New England. This was thought to be the direction the franchise would go, with the announcement of the signing now making it official. The fancy title effectively makes Wolf the new General Manager for a team undergoing vast changes throughout its organization.
