The New England Patriots need to find a new director of player personnel. Dave Ziegler, who held the role in 2021, has left the organization to join the Las Vegas Raiders as their new general manager. Ziegler will team up with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels — Las Vegas’ new head coach — to lead the Raiders moving forward.
As is the case with McDaniels’ departure, Ziegler’s also forces the Patriots to make some adjustments. How those will look like remains to be seen, but for now let’s focus on what the move means from New England’s point of view.
