Patriots reportedly might wait until after NFL Draft to hire GM, if at all

The Patriots moved quickly to replace the head coach vacancy after they parted ways with Bill Belichick. But they might not move quickly, if at all, to replace Belichick’s general manager position.

A few reports emerged Saturday on the uncertainty that the Patriots will hire a general manager ahead of the bulk of the offseason. The Patriots are in “no rush” to hire a general manager and could wait until after the NFL Draft before picking someone to lead the front office, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday on “Postseason NFL Countdown.”

But there might not even be a general manager hired following April’s draft, either.
