One of the biggest questions being asked since Mike Vrabel was hired last month<\/strong><\/a> has been where things will stand when it comes to personnel for the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last offseason, with Jerod Mayo in just his first season as an NFL head coach, Eliot Wolf took the reins and said he had the final say when it came to players, although the word we heard quite a bit last offseason was the word “collaborative” when it came to those decisions.<\/p>\n

This time around, Wolf is working with Vrabel, along with newly hired Ryan Cowden<\/strong><\/a> and John Streicher<\/strong><\/a> when it comes to building this year’s version of the football team.\u00a0 Vrabel was asked on Tuesday during a side session with the local media<\/strong><\/a> whether or not he had the final say when it came to players.<\/p>\n

While Vrabel didn’t come right out with a definitive answer, he also admitted that he wouldn’t be here if he didn’t believe he had the power he needed to build his roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I wouldn\u2019t be here, and I wouldn\u2019t have wanted to be the head coach here if I wasn\u2019t comfortable in my impact on the roster,” said Vrabel.\u00a0 “We want to continue to have great conversations with the personnel staff, with me, with Stretch [John Streicher], with coaching.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re all just trying to find ways to bring the right players in here, whether that\u2019s first part of free agency, middle free agency like we talked about, or the draft, or there\u2019s going to be players who get released that we\u2019ll have to pivot to and have options. So again, we need to strengthen the roster. We understand that. And again, have some really good conversations about how we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Wolf remains at the top of that hierarchy when it comes to his official role, there was still some question about whether or not the power had shifted given those changes.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Wolf essentially told the media during his press conference that on paper, it’s his call, but he discounted that fact, adding that the approach is that Vrabel and everyone else will be a part of the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, it\u2019s my final say,” said Wolf.\u00a0 “But again, Mike and I, again, Mike said it yesterday, Mike wouldn\u2019t have taken this job \u2013 and this is something we talked about in the interview process \u2013 Mike wouldn\u2019t have taken this job if we weren\u2019t comfortable with each other.”<\/p>\n

That aside, Wolf also added that there won’t be any dissension when it comes to which players were taken by which person.\u00a0 They’ll all make the decision when they find themselves on the clock in April.<\/p>\n

Until then, Wolf said he’s looking forward to working with Vrabel and the rest of their staff on improving the group they have, which is what he’ll be focusing on during these coming weeks.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s not going to be \u2018Mike\u2019s guys\u2019 or Eliot\u2019s guys,\u2019” said Wolf.\u00a0 “They\u2019re going to be \u2018Patriot guys.\u2019 We\u2019re excited to share the vision to work together to improve the roster. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
