Ryan Cowden's potential promotion to Eliot Wolf's position has been deemed unlikely, indicating stability in the Patriots' front office structure.

Ryan Cowden stepped in to handle personnel decisions for the Titans after the midseason firing of general manager Jon Robinson in 2022. His tenure was marked by a lack of clarity in the decision-making process, as owner Amy Adams Strunk claimed she would have final say on personnel matters. This unusual dynamic raised questions about the effectiveness of the team's leadership structure, particularly as Cowden navigated a tumultuous period for the franchise.
