Patriots lose front office executive to Broncos: Offseason changes within the Patriots roster and front office continued on Tuesday, with the latest news coming from Denver.

According multiple reports (including ESPN’s Adam Schefter), the Broncos have hired former Patriots director of college scouting Cam Williams to be the team’s new co-director of player personnel.

Williams had been with New England since 2016, when he joined the team as a scouting assistant. Eventually, he worked his way up the ladder, with former head coach Bill Belichick naming Williams the director of college scouting in 2022.

Heading to Denver, Williams is expected to “be a big part of the reshaping of his department,” according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
