Patriots already at risk of vital executive being poached by AFC rival
"From the moment that Robert Kraft hired Mike Vrabel to be the next head coach of the New England Patriots, there were high expectations about who he would choose to make up his coaching staff after a rough season under Jerod Mayo. It was crucial that he brought in an experienced group to help get the team back on track, and it was clear he did just that."
"She mentioned Cowden among the top names, citing his vast experience as a leading reason Miami would be interested. Not to mention, the Patriots' success in Year 1 of Vrabel's rebuild would certainly make him a top candidate. "Cowden, who has served as an interim general manager in Tennessee while also undergoing multiple GM interviews over the last eight seasons, has an extensive scouting and personnel executive background with the Panthers (2001-14), Titans (2016-22), and Giants (executive advisor, 2023-24)."
Mike Vrabel hired Ryan Cowden to join the New England Patriots' staff, bringing 25 years of scouting and personnel experience. Cowden began with the Panthers in 2000 and rose to Titans director of player personnel in 2016, later serving as a Giants executive advisor. His connection with Vrabel supported the Patriots' Year 1 turnaround and strengthened the personnel department. The Dolphins fired GM Chris Grier and have identified Cowden as a leading candidate to replace him. The Patriots face the risk of losing Cowden after just one season, potentially to an AFC East rival.
