The Patriots have been struggling to find candidates for their head of football operations position, but they have managed to secure interviews with a few individuals. Among those is Brandon Hunt, the director of scouting for the Eagles, who recently spoke with the team. Additionally, Samir Suleiman, a former Panthers director of player negotiations and salary cap manager, is set to meet with them as well. Despite his past controversies, Suleiman is being considered for the Patriots’ top football operations position.
However, some executives have declined to interview for the position due to suspicions that the organization already has an internal candidate in mind. This speculation may explain why the Patriots have faced challenges in finding suitable candidates for the role. Eliot Wolf, the scouting director for the Patriots, has been acting as the de facto General Manager since Bill Belichick’s departure and is a front-runner for the job.
