Report: Robyn Glaser set to resign from role with Patriots
Glaser has been an executive for the Patriots for 18 seasons.
After spending 18 seasons in Foxborough, Robyn Glaser is reportedly resigning from her position with the Patriots, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Glaser has held many positions in New England since joining the staff in 2007. Most recently, she served as Jerod Mayo’s senior advisor. She also held various roles as a senior vice president since 2018.
The Patriots are heading into a period filled with turnover following Robert Kraft’s decision to fire Mayo after his first season as New England’s head coach. No coaching staff changes have been officially announced since the franchise reached an agreement with Mike Vrabel to lead the team into the future, but some assistants under the previous regime have been looking for other opportunities.
The turnover experienced at the coaching level will now also extend into executive leadership as the team looks to find a replacement for Glaser.
Glaser handled several different responsibilities in New England. She began her time as a senior advisor to ownership, and her role evolved into handling many business affairs as well as league compliance and legal relations.
Infamously, on Glaser’s first day of work in New England she was thrust into the “SpyGate” cheating scandal that ripped through the Patriots in 2007. In the Apple TV+ documentary “The Dynasty,” Glaser is a prominent figure of the SpyGate episode, and was seen walking the halls in Foxborough with a hammer to help portray the destruction of the tapes the Patriots used.
Glaser reportedly plans to continue working until mid-February, giving New England one month to find her replacement.
Between coaching staff hires, owning a top-five draft pick and $130 million in cap space ahead of free agency, and now a search for a new high-ranking executive, Vrabel and the Patriots have their work cut out for them this offseason.
