7/!7/2024 Patriots Daily News & Information​

Patriots Announce Personnel Department Additions​

The Patriots announced five new additions to their personnel department on Tuesday, along with four in-house promotions.

According to the team, Alonzo Highsmith – a long-time key colleague of Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf – was officially hired as a senior personnel executive. Highsmith and Wolf previously worked together both in Green Bay and Cleveland, with the two experiencing a fair amount of success together over that span. The fact they were reunited here was no surprise, and Highsmith’s addition quietly remains one of the more underrated moves of this offseason.

The team also hired Casey Belongia as an area scout, while Bob Kronenberg was added as a pro scout. Both A.J. Richardson and Landon Simpson were also named scouting assistants.

The club also promoted four staff members, with Patrick Stewart being named director of pro personnel, while Sam Fioroni has been promoted to assistant director of pro personnel. The team also promoted Marshall Oium to director of football strategy, while Marquis Dickerson was promoted as a pro scout.

The moves now bring the personnel department to 27 staff members, up from 22 in 2022 and 25 in 2023.

Odds and Ends​

The Patriots have seemingly made an addition to their international staff, with Lara Magalhaes announcing on her Instagram account that she’ll be managing the expansion efforts of the team in Brazil. “The opportunity to lead the Brazilian soil expansion of one of the most successful teams in the NFL, showcase my expertise and management skills in a highly competitive environment will never be something simple,” she wrote on Instagram (as translated). “Through my presence as manager of the New England Patriots in Brazil I have as one of main goals to inspire other women to pursue careers in the sport and show that there is no limit to what they can achieve. I aspire to be an example of female leadership and empowerment, contributing to diversity and inclusion in the world of sports.” … The recent buzz about Davante Adams potentially ending up in New York with the Jets has got people talking, but his agents spoke out against the rumors this week. Agents Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer said, “This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk — period,” they said via ESPN, likely quieting any further discussion. … It’s been a minute since the name Frank Bauer has popped up in these parts. Anyone who recalls the contentious negotiations with Logan Mankins likely remembers Bauer’s name, who was far and away one of the more vocal agents in recent memory during the negotiations that took place during that 2011 offseason. That came after the team placed the franchise tag on Mankins, which at the time was worth an impressive $10.1 million, which he initially didn’t sign. Eventually the team signed him to a 6-year deal.

Too early in the Camp Cycle. Expect to see it after the second preseason game.

Offer may not be there at that point. He's shown he is not all that good a player, we have other vets, rookies and year two guys to look at. I am more than comfortable taking this deal.

He has previously shown himself to be very good. The question is, has his injuries interupted his career or have they ruined his career?
We will find out in camp / preseason. Should we really be giving away a pro-bowl receiver before we give hime a healthy chance?

A Healthy chance and having an average or better QB. He played with arguably the 2 worst QB’s in the NFL last year. I’m giving all Patriots WR’s TE’s and RB’s a mulligan for last year.
