However Jarrett Stidham Buffalo Bills Jersey , Daniels’ importance to the club cannot be understated as he has been a key member of New England’s scouting department for the last 13 yearsTwo weeks ago, it was reported that Daniels would leave the Patriots to pursue opportunities outside of the organization that brought him on board as a scouting assistant in 2006. It looks as if he has now found such an opportunity: according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Daniels will join the Oakland Raiders in a senior executive position — one he apparently felt he would not have gotten in New England.Seeing Daniels depart the team with which he had won three Super Bowls to subsequently join the Raiders should therefore not be seen as too big a surprise considering the decision’s context: his career advancement with the Patriots was likely limited due to director of college scouting Monti Ossenfort and further up director of player personnel Nick Caserio not going anywhere anytime soon.Of course, New England will have to fill Daniels’ former role. With the team having six area scouts on its staff in 2018, it appears likely that one of those men will get elevated to national scout. The most realistic candidates at this point in time appear to be Matt Groh, Jonathan Howard Color Rush Byron Cowart Jersey , and Brandon Yeargan, who all have multiple years of experience under their respective belts. New York continues to make some interesting decisions this offseason." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhitePats Pulpita New England Patriots communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpPatriots NewsOpinion and AnalysisContribute!About the SiteTopicsPatriotsOddsShopStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhitePatriots News Opinion and Analysis Contribute!

With Maccagnan no longer part of the franchise, his duties as GM are going — at least on an interim basis — to newly hired head coach Adam Gase.The moves themselves are not necessarily surprising considering that New York went just 24-40 since Maccagnan was brought on board in 2015. The team also failed to reach the playoffs in each of the four seasons with him at the helm. What is rather interesting, however, is the timing of the Jets’ decision: Maccagnan played a big role in some of the personnel decisions the team has made recently.Under Maccagnan, the club traded up in the first round of last year’s draft to select potential franchise quarterback Sam Darnold third overall. This year Womens Byron Cowart Jersey , his Jets spent more than $190 million in free agency on players like Le’Veon Bell, C.J. Mosley, Jamison Crowder and Henry Anderson. In the draft, Maccagnan and company decided to draft defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with the third pick.Not even three weeks later, Maccagnan is now out of a job while the players he picked over the last two years — all potential long-term building blocks given the investment made by the team — remain. It will be interesting to see how Gase and whoever comes in as the new general manager decide to use them, and how this impacts the organization’s future development.
