The New England Patriots have reportedly registered a job title to the NFL for their de facto general manager role in the front office. According to NFL insider Albert Breer, the official title of the role previously held by former coach Bill Belichick will be executive vice president of player personnel.

The Patriots have not had an official General Manager since 1990 when Pat Sullivan completed his last of eight seasons with that title for the team.

Former Panthers vice president of football administration Samir Suleiman is reportedly up for a job in New England.

The New England Patriots are holding an interview with former Carolina Panthers director of player negotiations and salary cap manager Samir Suleiman on Wednesday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Suleiman has an extensive football background.

Candidates have been turning down interview opportunities with the Patriots for the team's head of football operations job, but New England has a few people interested in the gig.
