Report: Patriots Likely To Lose This Longtime Personnel Executive

The New England Patriots will enter the new season with a different roster. But, it looks like the team will lose one of its executives too. A Patriots executive will probably part ways with the organization. The team lost several top players, including Tom Brady, Jamie Collins, and Kyle Van Noy. These three have signed lucrative contracts with their new teams. But, where will the executive go?

Albert Breer of the MMQB reported that Monti Ossenfort, the Patriots’ director of college scouting, “will likely be on the move in the coming weeks. Breer was the first to report the big change.

“For obvious reasons, this figures to be a quieter year for movement in the scouting community (normally, May is when a ton of guys are switching jobs). But in the case of someone like Ossenfort, having an established reputation and relationships should supersede the difficulty teams might have in running a search process amid the circumstances.”

The Patriots were prepared for the departure of the executive

This decision didn’t come as a surprise for the Patriots. The team “was not caught off guard” by Ossenfort’s decision to leave the Patriots. Ossenfort’s contract will soon expire, so the Patriots hired former Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns executive Eliot Wolf earlier in the offseason.

Ossenfort spent 15 seasons in New England. He was head of college scouting for six seasons. The executive had interviews with the Browns for their general manager position in January. He wasn’t allowed to have interviews with the Houston Texans in previous years. His moves were sort of blocked.

The Patriots are entering a new chapter, and they will do that with a lot of new names in the organization. It looks like the team is ready to move on with greater strength. Bill Belichick selected a lot of great players in the 2020 NFL Draft. The departure of Brady was probably the biggest change the Patriots have seen this offseason. He signed a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady will get $60 million from the team, and he will probably retire as a Buccaneer. He is also excited about Gronk’s arrival. They will play on the same team again.
